WHO IS JESSICA?
Adaptable, Hardworking, Determined, Quick Learner
Jessica thrives on challenges, never shying away from a new task. Whether it's a graphic design project on an unfamiliar platform or a sudden need to master Excel, she dives in, scouring the Internet for articles and resources to ensure the job gets done to the best of her ability. I've been fortunate enough to work in many industries, such as a distribution company, non-profit, and sporting goods. Working across many of these different markets has allowed me to pivot my skills and learn to market to various audiences.
During my role at Western Paper Distributors, now known as Imperial Dade, I created marketing materials for sales managers to use when speaking to current and potential customers. I tailored content for food service, hospitality, commercial real estate, long-term care, and institutions. The products I was creating material for were hand sanitizer and soap. If I can create visually appealing and engaging content for a product like hand sanitizer, I can have the confidence to develop materials for almost any product.
This internship was a great stepping stone in my career. It gave me opportunities to learn and understand different aspects of the distribution industry.
My time at the Food Bank of the Rockies was enriching. Working closely with the Digital Storyteller, I significantly enhanced my copywriting skills. The stories and captions I crafted using the digital asset management software Canto were shared across the organization, inspiring others to engage with our social media and blog posts.
Finally, my time at STOMP Athletics taught me skills in email marketing, graphic design, merchandise design, social media content creation, and marketing materials. Working in a start-up requires employees to wear multiple hats, and I'm so grateful for the experience. There is never a dull day, and I'm constantly learning and evolving my skill set. Whether creating a custom mat design for USA Basketball or researching the best ways to decrease our product's shipping cost, I'm always ready to take on a new task.
