EDUCATION
WORK EXPERIENCE
MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND
Oct. 2015
Bachelor of Business Administration
During the completion of my degree, I found the marketing classes to be the ones I was most interested in, and excelled at. This is what inspired me to pursue further education in graphic design, as I think it will pair well.
ART WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES
Apr. 2013 - Present
At least once a year, I attend an art class either taught by an independent artist or through the Anna Templeton Centre. I've completed the following so far: Intro to Watercolour, Intro to Acrylics, Continuing Acrylics, Painting Workshop, Intro to Figure Drawing, Cartooning and Comics, Silk Painting Workshop
FREELANCE ARTIST
May 2016 - Present

On my Tumblr, I've cultivated a small fanbase through frequent posting, interaction, and drawing requests. I've earned 900 followers and receive the occasional commission. I mostly do this for my own enjoyment, but I am trying to create a brand and intend to eventually turn it into a fully fleshed out business.
WEB DEVELOPER
Metro Youth Parliament
April - Sept. 2015
During this time I developed a website using wordpress.com for a friend's not-for-profit group. Here I practiced style and branding, ensuring all images, texts and posts were presented in a certain way and were consistent and correct in substance and style.
MARKETING STUDENT ASSISTANT
Memorial University of Newfoundland
May - Aug. 2014
A brief student placement position, I had two primary objectives. One was to create, release, collect and analyse surveys to gauge awareness of resources. The other was creating promotional materials, such as advertisements, brochures, and logos, using various programs to bring attention to these resources.
DIGITAL MEDIA STUDENT ASSISTANT
Memorial University of Newfoundland
June - Aug. 2014
Sept. - Dec 2013
Another student position with The Commons, here I was the service representative for the Digital Media Centre. I took care of the equipment and tutored customers on the use of Microsoft Office and Adobe Suite. I also completed weekly tutorials for those programs, which is where I learnt a lot of my current design skills!
