I am an experienced business development professional with a passion for connecting my community. My approach focuses on building lasting relationships with my clients. By using Brand Architecture, market research, industry analysis, strategy and a little bit of magic, I can ensure that their creative marketing needs are met.Outside of work I am constantly exercising my creative abilities and challenging myself to learn new things. I am very active in the community arts and am currently a member of Panther City Exchange as well as local comedy troupe Shut Up And Prance. Both projects have taught me how to thrive in a team environment, delegate tasks and utilize the specific strengths of each member. I'm currently helping both groups write business plans to gain funding for future endeavors, set goals and organize standard operating procedures for performances and events.My skills and attributes include business development, graphic design, promotions, networking, planning, scheduling and coordination.
