I'm a results-driven achiever with exemplary planning and organizational skills, along with a high degree of detail orientation. After graduating with a degree in film from St. Louis' Webster University, I moved to Los Angeles to begin my career. After only a few short months as a production assistant I moved up the ladder quickly and within a year was an Assistant Director (a Director of Operations if you will).After almost a decade in the film business I turned my sights to the start-up world and became the Operations Coordinator at Washio. I maintained a productive climate and confidently motivated, mobilized, and coached employees to meet high performance standards.After over two years with Washio, I moved up the coast of California to San Luis Obispo County and continued in management at Tri Counties Regional Center, a nonprofit organization that aids the developmentally disabled. I spent three years managing the support staff of four locations and developing procedures and doing data driven analysis.I left management to pursue a career in education after being offered a chance to teach young students about media, photography, and video production. Since starting in education I have also earned a qualification to teach mathematics alongside my teaching in media.
