"Marketing is in my blood."I'm incredibly grateful to be doing what I love. Marketing has bee a passion of mine since high school. It all started with my school's business marketing class and the DECA program. My senior year, my new found passion took me to the International DECA competition for "Buying and Merchandising Team Decision Making". While attending Florida Gulf Coast University, Marketing found a relationship with my Automotive passion. Shortly after laying the ground work for the FGCU Car Club, I decided to turn these passions into monetary value. I Started my first business with 2 friends named FAST Events. FAST Events was then rebranded as Auto Faction as I transitioned into Sole Ownership of the business. Auto Faction specialized in Automotive Events, Car Shows, Lifestyle Merchandise, and Networking. I used the business as an opportunity to develop advanced skills in Graphic Design and Sales to eliminate outsourcing expenses. Meanwhile, I worked Full Time at the Pink Shell Beach Resort as a Food Server, among other things. I was finding myself into a Management position with this company right before we were hit by the COVID19 pandemic. I used the down time from work and the connections i made from Auto Faction to land a position at Cosmis Racing Wheels and quickly secured my role as Retail Manager of the Brand. Cosmis Racing Wheels is part of a family of companies including Import Image Racing, Nahm Industries, and Silver's Suspension. My second responsibility with these brands came in the form of Account Manager at Nahm Industries.
