My employment since 2002 has been in business operations with companies manufacturing and importing goods from China. During this time, I have developed skill sets that transfer directly into a variety of fields including building relationships and trust with clients, collaborating with team members at home and abroad and the ability to make the most of limited resources. In addition, I have strong Mandarin Chinese language skills, which I use on a constant basis to communicate with overseas partners.My ultimate career goal is to merge my customer and business skills with my educational background in film as well as my interest in sustainable/green building products.I started my own business in 2009.

I also freelance on independent and commercial film productions.Specialties: Decorative mosaic tiles, bamboo flooring, Mandarin Chinese language, China/Taiwan sourcing, product development, FILM production and collaboration, customer fulfillment, client strategies, vendor management.
