I was assigned to work closely with the communications team, which was the key to ISU Extension and Outreach digital engagement. My main role pertained to marketing-based materials creation and office duties such as meetings with my supervisors, Basecamp file management, and streamlining communication between counties and official vendors, especially for county projects.

Linn County Seed Library Wall Vinyl

The Linn County Extension branch will be holding its premiere of opening the new Seed Library in March 2025. The client’s representative, Hailee, wanted our central office to create a wall vinyl for the opening event.
The wall mark will be placed on top of a drawer that is placed in the alcove, and the client wishes for the wall mark to indicate, inform, and promote what the Master Gardener program has done for the community and encourage visitors to take the same initiative to be part of the program.
