As the communications coordinator, I had a variety of responsibilities that covered all areas of marketing communications.

Photography

I discovered my passion for photography while working at Schaumburg Park District. I took photos daily of parks, facilities, programs and special events. My photos are used throughout the District on flyers, brochures, websites, press releases, event listings and other promotional materials. These are some nature photos I took at Spring Valley and Schaumburg Golf Club.
