In a nutshell.
I am a problem-solver, which is why time-sensitive deadlines provide an ideal work environment for me. There is nothing more rewarding than watching an idea become an implementation. I believe the best projects make an impact on social and cultural development. I excel and strive to work with strong mentors and leaders. My educational background enables me to create concise, timely and marketable information for media content in print, online and broadcast formats. A broad range of hands-on experience has made me flexible and adaptable to any work environment. I am a member of Tempe Sister Cities and Arizona Technology Council and a licensed realtor with the State of Arizona. I am consistently inquisitive growth is the only option.
