During my pursuit of a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, I gained valuable experience working at The Oracle, the University of South Florida’s editorially independent, student-run newspaper for two years. In my role as the Graphic Arts Manager, I was responsible for maintaining, converting, updating, and archiving all graphics used in the newspaper while managing a team of four interns throughout the design process.
I worked closely with the sales team to create and revise web and print advertisements for clients, utilizing Adobe InDesign to integrate advertisements into the newspaper template. Additionally, I designed various marketing materials, such as flyers, brochures, and other printed materials, as well as created unique covers for special sections of the newspaper using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
