About Me

Bio

In the last few years of my life, I’ve fulfilled two Visual Arts degrees (BA in Graphic Design, BA in Animation) at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and I have also had some pretty remarkable direct marketing and sales experiences thus far. Within the next five years, I see myself as a brand marketing director for a small to mid-size niche firm. In my free time I write and play original music on guitar and drums with a newly formed band called MeadowFire.

In a consultative sales environment, I get a genuine sense of accomplishment when an initial “no” is converted by my ability to address concerns, and build rapport and trust. Through freelancing, interning, and volunteering my design abilities, I have developed a solid understanding for color coordination, textures, corporate design, illustration and fine art. I feel accomplished when I create an ad, a logo, or execute a solid presentation that resonates with my audience, arouses their curiosity and promotes inquiry. I have also familiarized myself with psychology, nonverbal communication, and the processes behind marketing, sales and design. The sum of my abilities allows me to identify needs and offer practical solutions.

Personal Attributes

I am an ENTJ—creative and extroversive—although, I try to keep all of my skill-sets sharp and balanced. I do not hesitate to step out of my comfort zone to enable constructive and empowering experiences. Solid interpersonal abilities are driven by my desire to be the most successful I can be. I am always optimistic and proactive, even when it is easier not to be. I am a goal-oriented individual, and very compassionate about what I do, which enables me to maximize actionable, quality efforts. I work well without a lot of micromanagement, but as a self-starter, I can be a team player when needed. I receive praise for being highly organized and adaptable as well as detail oriented in my work ethic.
