MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
St. Mary's South Side Catholic High School
July 2023 - Present
At St. Mary’s South Side Catholic High School, my focus has been on sharing the energy, pride, and spirit of the South Side. Through design, social media, and creative communications, I work to connect students, families, alumni, and the broader community to everything that makes the school unique.
One of my largest projects was launching a brand-new school website. www.stmaryshs.com I led the planning, design, and launch from start to finish, and now manage ongoing updates and content to ensure it stays engaging, accessible, and relevant for everyone who visits.
I also manage the school’s social media presence across @stmarysdragons and @southsidecatholicathletics, creating graphics, writing content, and keeping the accounts active and engaging for different audiences.
Beyond digital platforms, I’ve designed a wide range of print materials and marketing assets, including pole banners for the neighborhood, yard signs, annual planning letters, and event promotions for Music Trivia Nights, Gala Dinner Auctions, and other school gatherings. These projects combine storytelling, photography, and design to capture the school’s identity in a visually compelling way.
As bookstore manager, I oversee inventory while also designing new merchandise that reflects the St. Mary’s brand. Across all my work, I primarily use Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Canva to create graphics, invitations, programs, eblasts, and other materials that communicate the school’s mission and community spirit.
You can see examples of my work below, highlighting both digital and print projects I’ve created during my time at St. Mary’s.
POLE BANNERS
When I started at the school, I knew the campus needed a fresh look. With the launch of our new mission statement, I designed bold pole banners with cohesive themes and striking touches of green—bringing our values to life in a way that stands out across campus.

EVENTS
Music Trivia 2025
For our Music Trivia night, I set the stage with a bold theme built around sleek black dragon scales—every detail tied back to that look. I hyped the event with eye-catching promotions, crafted table signage, and designed raffle visuals that matched the vibe perfectly.
This year, I added a new twist: color-changing cups for anyone who registered early, making check-in a breeze and adding some extra excitement. I also designed brand-new South Side hats that became a huge hit—selling out fast and bringing in nearly $3,000 in just four hours.
On top of that, I pulled together a dynamic PowerPoint, brought in a photographer to capture the fun, and when the night kicked off, I even jumped behind the bar to keep the drinks flowing and the energy high!
In total, the school raised almost $79,000 at the Music Trivia night!
Gala on Grand
For the Gala on Grand, I created the event logo and carried the elegant green and gold marble theme through every detail, starting with custom-designed invitations that I mailed out. I also designed the centerpieces in collaboration with the florist and hand-painted the table numbers for a unique, personal touch.
The photo booth backdrop came to life with custom balloon arrangements I set up, while I coordinated both a photographer and a videographer to capture the evening’s highlights.
I designed a polished event program to guide guests through the night and promoted the gala through strategic social media posts and email campaigns, ensuring a strong turnout and a seamless experience from start to finish.
