*******.*****@*****.*** - 732-***-****

Since graduating college in 2007, I've been pursuing work that would allow my creativity to flourish. The real

world has given me a variety of skills that have allowed me to turn visions into reality for both employers and

clients alike. Nothing is more rewarding, to me, than creating a physical product that one can see or hear

based on the collaborative ideas of various individuals.
