The McCarthy Law Firm
The McCarthy Law Firm came to me requesting a new website that was clean, professional and functional. This project was a particular challenge as their original site was built on Wix. I first migrated their site to WordPress, then began to design their new site; a single scroll with a clear theme and direction that conveys the professional work you can expect from this boutique law firm.
Aurora Cafe and Bakery
A local bakery was eager to create a web presence that matched their offerings—fun, playful, and memorable.
We collaborated on theme colors and the best way to display their unique food offerings, resulting in an easy-to-navigate website they can update whenever their seasonal menu changes.
Project Graduation
Bishop Miege High School holds an annual Project Graduation to celebrate graduating seniors. This event relies primarily on parental volunteers and fundraising efforts. Prior to this website creation, there was no place to house the (many) documents and sign up info for parents to stay informed and get involved.
The creation of a single scroll site helped collate the necessary info for parents and students.
Lori Shank
One of my colleagues was looking for helping developing a professional online porftfolio for her doctoral dissertation. We collaborated on the projects needs and design aspects, resulting in an online portfolio that reflected Lori’s professional experience and personal style.

The writing I did for Baker University promoted specific programs or course offerings, as well as spotlighting students and faculty. These are just some of the many stories published to Baker’s main page.

The Center for Engagement and Community Development
In my role as Feature Writing Intern, I reported on engaged partnerships between Kansas State University and the community. I’ve interviewed quite a few faculty and community leaders on various projects, grant proposals and events. When published, these stories are sent out in our nationally circulated biweekly newsletter to keep our contacts updated on the work we facilitate.

The Office of Assessment
When I was hired as the Communications Assistant, the team at the Office of Assessment was looking for a way to communicate their accomplishments and highlight the assessment work of K-State professors. I created a newsletter to promote our events and developed a monthly “Faculty Spotlight” section that focuses on the work of university professors. To date, this newsletter has received over 2,000 page views.

The Collegian
Working as a Contributing Writer, I tried to cover as many topics and areas of interest as possible. The piece that I’m most proud of was one that I wrote during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I was fortunate to interview a survivor, who graciously dispelled any misconceptions about abusive relationships. I felt very honored to speak with her and share her story with K-State.
