COMMUNICATIONS
Hi, I'm Colleen
Welcome to my website
I am a recent graduate from James Madison University specializing in advertising, design, and communication. I graduated cum laude with a degree in Media Arts & Design, concentration in Integrated Advertising and Corporate Communication, along with minors in Studio Art and British Media Communications.
When I'm not working, you can find me thrift shopping, investigating the latest trends in beauty, catching up on pop culture, and dabbling in film theory.
