Skills & Vision
I’m a leader who thrives in collaborative team environments
As a creative professional, I take initiative to understand the organizations and projects I am a part of, and how I can best contribute. I’m a resilient and adaptable performer, who strives to be a knowledgable asset to any team–I’m a quick learner, and value opportunities to continue growing. Troubleshooting problems is one of my greatest strengths. Having worked in both media and non-media industries, I understand what it means to be both a dedicated leader, and valuable team-player in fast-paced environments where important problems require immediate, well-thought solutions.
I believe in diverse storytelling that promotes authentic representation, not only in the works themselves, but as reflected in the artists that make up the creative teams. I am a firm believer in uplifting others to champion their own stories.
