Krista Kapalko’s Summary
I am seeking either full-time or part-time position in either providing professional graphic, presentation and/or administrative/marketing services in the New York City metro area.
I have over 16 years of New York experience supporting corporate graphics for audit, tax, business and IT consulting firms. I am familiar with cross-platform software technology issues in a graphic and print environment. I also provide software, OS support and troubleshooting experience for this environment.
At BearingPoint and KPMG, I supported their creative services department. There I was extremely self-motivated for learning all relevant software and hardware used in designing and conceptualizing custom templates, annual reports, proposals, logos, brochures, advertisements, diagrams, and schematics to visually represent business concepts, products, services and recognizing best practices in servicing departments such as; marketing, proposal management, IT consulting, publishing media, public and financial services, and provide services for other various requests for their clients.
In short, I strive to provide and maintain professional and technical support in tandem.
I also have web, FilemakerPro database and office management experience.
I hold a B.F.A. from Tisch School of the Arts, NYU in Film and Television.
Sincerely,
Krista Kapalko
