PROFILE
Seeking to be an "addition" to any company while enhancing my skillset.
My educational, professional, and life experiences developed my talent to communicate, multi-task, sell, create digital/written content, budget, problem-solve, research, organize, and have great attention to detail. What I don’t know I will learn. When I don’t understand I will ask. I lead under demanding circumstances, and I accept logical criticism with appreciation.
Being a broadcast communications major my first time in college, expanded my literacy and vocabulary. Being a music production major my second time in college, expanded my creativity. Being a real estate student, increased my entrepreneurship edge, and owning my own business for several years put me in a position to wear all department hats at the same time (marketing, social media management, budgeting, design, photography, website creation, intellectual property, newsletter, prize/product giveaways, business networking - which led me to the WEARABLE ART GALA in Santa Monica, CA, and continues to open me up to more possibilities). I’m a personable individual who prides myself on being a hard worker, extremely creative where I’m always willing to think outside the box, while exploring new innovation and delivering inspiration through my work.
