Deeply dedicated and focused on the task at hand, I possess the skill set and drive to handle
whatever comes my way. With almost a decade of entertainment industry experience I am
confident in my abilities and am always looking for opportunities to grow. I am incredibly
passionate about my work and it shows with every completed project or successful deal that
I am apart of. The relationships that I have developed over the years in technology, music,
television, film, gaming, and radio give me a unique perspective and ability to think and
move across multiple platforms, giving me an edge over others who may have only worked
in one particular lane. After being a part of so much, I now believe that I am truly prepared for
my greatest work yet and look forward to putting all of these pieces together for the
employer that can truly take advantage of what I have to offer.
