Sustainability Management | Marketing | Photography |

Marketing & Communications Manager at Michigan Tech’s College of Business and College of Computing, sharing stories of achievement and innovation. Owner of M/K Studios LLC, specializing in photography and digital media rooted in Northern Michigan. Volunteer Marketing Coordinator with Surfrider Northern Michigan, blending creativity with environmental advocacy. Committed to continual growth, sustainability, and catching waves whenever possible.

Always building creative side projects and currently exploring more stable opportunities in the sustainability sector—though marketing roles seem to find me first. If any of this resonates, I’d love to connect.
