Summary

I am an ambitious and relentless individual who possess a passion for working in the broadcast industry. I have

worked in media-related jobs for over five years and have had the opportunity to learn from the wisest and most

respected personnel in the Metro Detroit market. My diverse skill-set that I've gained through my education,

internships and employment has made me a dual threat when it comes to my abilities and the unlimited ways I

can be an asset for a company. My goal is to obtain media-related employment in which my diverse production

and content development skills will contribute to mutual success and advancement.
