Video Marketing Professional

Core professional competencies include:

Strategic Marketing

Web Development

Team Management

Creative Problem Solving

Virtual Office Dev

Relationship Management

My true passions lie in film and video production. I have worked in and produced animation (Rugrats and Rocket Power, and The Wild Thornberry's), small budget films, direct to video call to action videos for sales pages, training videos, and more. I know my resume leans heavier to the marketing side of work, but the move into marketing was out of necessity to create a path to sales for some of the media projects I had worked on.

I work with top film line producer, Michael Mandaville (American History X, Taken 1, 2, & 3, and more) from whom I can easily get a letter of recommendation. I would love to get back to full-time work in the production side of business.

Since 2007, I have worked on several projects in various capacities in virtual and physical office environments as a marketing manager, project manager, and business development manager for vastly different companies. To hone my skills further, in 2008 I obtained a Master’s Certificate in Project Mgt, which helped me to successfully manage:

Produce Commercials & infomercials

Plan and produce online sales and informational videos

Design and Build Websites

Create Business and Marketing plans

Write Operations, Sales and Marketing manuals

I am seeking a long-term/permanent position in media production at an established company where the culture is about the people, the customer, which is the foundation for all growth and stability in business.
