Administrative Assistant Manager

Profile The majority of my career has been spent within the television

industry and direct response marketing business. What has

contributed to my success is my firm belief that to excel

within an organization, starting in on the ground floor and

working up is an excellent way to grasp the scope of any

company and industry. It is for this reason, as I have just

relocated to Austin, that my current career goal is to

obtain an entry to mid-level position within the

Advertising and Marketing field.
