P rofile
I am an outgoing, loyal, friendly, and clearly dedicated person who has an ambition to succeed in any given
environment. I get along very well with others, love to learn, and am always up to a challenge whatever the
situation. Although I have experience in the television industry, I also have extensive experience working on
my own inside the commercial and business world managing my own companies. I am seeking a position
where I can develop and grow, where I can give the company my experience and the best of me to help
achieve the everyday goals while I learn and become a better professional.
