Welcome to Digital Nova Scotia, Alleah!
Alleah is currently a second year student in the Graphic Design program at Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC). Having completed the Public Relations program at Mount Saint Vincent University in 2017, Alleah found herself looking to explore the more creative side of the communications field, leading her to NSCC to study Graphic Design. Through co-op terms at the federal and provincial levels of government, Alleah has experience working with both internal and external clients to draft communications products, create content for the web and social media and plan events. Originally from just outside of Halifax, Alleah has called downtown home for a number of years now. Outside of work, she can usually be found visiting new restaurants or exploring the outdoor spaces that Halifax has to offer.
