Education
Portland State University
Degree: Bachelor of Science
Study: Advertising
GPA: 3.93
I studied advertising in the school of business at PSU. I loved learning about consumer psychology and how creative strategy can influence buyers perception. I got really lucky in school because the guy leading the ad program - Doug Lowell - was a seasoned creative director with over 25 years working in the agency world; he had a lot of great real world knowledge to share.
