Texas State Agency Work

I have four years of Texas state agency experience from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (2022-2024) and the Texas Epidemic Public Health Institute. (2024-2026). Here is a selection of work from my favorite projects at each agency.

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service

Publications

While at AgriLife, I designed curricula, fact sheets, reports and even got the chance to redesign the New Employee Handbook. I was on a small publications team — just three editors and two designers — and I worked with an editor to create a new workflow for the department to streamline the publication process. The new process incorporated Adobe InCopy to minimize sharing of proof PDFs and Adobe Bridge to allow editors to directly add captions and alternative text to images to improve accessibility. The process also took advantage of SharePoint and OneDrive so that when project files were created and updated, the designers and editors would have near-instant access.

Feel free to check out Where’s the Risk? A Livestock Risk Management Handbook, the AgriLife Extension New Employee Handbook, Explore: Texas 4H Range Judging, Survey of Texas Agricultural Producers and Landowners, and Managing Insect and Mite Pests of Texas Sorghum.

Better Living for Texans

The work I did with the folks over at BLT was the driving factor to finding a career in public health. I did photo and video work to promote healthy eating, active living and had a blast doing it. Check out the 2024 nutritional calendar I designed, Celebrating Texas Plates, featuring recipes from cultures found all throughout Texas.

Juntos en Salud

Juntos en Salud is a health promotion campaign geared toward migrant agricultural workers and their families in the Rio Grande Valley, El Paso and Panhandle regions of Texas. My small team of six spent time doing research and discovery including interviews, photography and videography. We worked with a marketing agency to create an identity that we felt would resonate with our audience.

All for Them

I shot interviews and b-roll for All for Them, a project run by UTHealth Houston School of Public Health in partnership with school districts, healthcare provider partners, and other community organizations to provide access to life-saving resources and accurate immunization information to Texas adolescents and their parents.
