My operational and financial expertise has
produced solid results for diverse
entertainment-based organizations, including
NHL, NBA, and broadcast network teams. I drove

resources, and raised fiscal integrity
standards. I negotiated win-win solutions. My
strengths include:
- Increasing shareholder value and
communicating clear corporate goals.
- Optimizing financial performances,
maximizing ROI.
- Recruiting, training, and developing
executive leadership team.
- Connecting brand to target audiences,
increasing annual revenues.
Creative, motivated, and highly competitive, I
capture critical moments to increase brand
awareness, improve operational efficiency, and
strengthen shareholder value. My BSBA in
Accounting was earned at Seton Hall University
and I am a Certified Public Accountant.
