Creativity bandit, eager innovator and hungry for conquests within the advertising world:
I believe in 3 verbs- dreaming. creating. doing.
1 : Hello.
I grappled with the idea of trying to put “me” into a video. Sleepless nights, sweat and love produced this. I hope this video resume series makes you feel like you know me without knowing me at all.
2 : Awards and Recognitions
Addendum- between now and the time I created this video, I won two awards I’d like you to know about
4 : What I Want
This was a piece I put together for Initiative. The ideas I communicate about “what I want” and “where I am going” are relevant and pertinent to any position I take in the future.
5 : Words from my Mentor, Bianca Philippi
Bianca is my mentor and the advisor to College of the Canyon’s student chapter of the AAF. Learn more about her: http://www.linkedin.com/in/biancaphilippi
