Through a broad range of traditional and experimental medias I have experienced all aspects of working in the Arts, Entertainment and Brand Marketing arenas. From experience in both support and leadership roles I have honed skills as a creative problem-solver, motivated team-builder and indispensable collaborator.
I hope to use these skills as a platform to lead and collaborate with others to build a legacy of positive change in the world. I hope to expand my skill sets into more diverse medias and industries.
