Training for business, design, and marketing gets better all the time.

Having the necessary technical skills to build and design websites is essential, but I also have training and hands-on experience with marketing and admin for small businesses and nonprofit organizations.

You can trust me to go above and beyond for your project, and feel confident that I can learn in the moment to suit your specific needs. Here’s a list of the courses I’ve completed.
