About

I have nearly a decade’s worth of experience promoting brands through effective multimedia storytelling. My years of production management have given me opportunities to be innovative and resourceful in completing projects on time and under budget. Through this process I’ve also developed excellent problem solving skills. Media production is a team sport, and while I’m comfortable managing a team, I’m also comfortable following someone else’s lead.
