I’m a passionate self-starter, boundlessly adaptable and equally competent working solo or with a team. I research for fun, SEO skills have been ingrained, and multi-platform tailoring is second nature. For print, broadcast and online media outlets, both domestically and abroad, I’ve served in roles ranging from entrepreneur to journalist and been promoted to management, thereby cultivating a genuine, worldly outlook. After a year bartending in New York, I’ve never been more ready to dedicate my energy and talents to a media company willing to give me the opportunity. Ringier AG Shenzhen, China
