I possess a strong eye for detail that's been honed by working in quality control and problem-solving and creative skills that were built working as a content manager. Growing up I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. At the time, I believed my main hurdle to achieving my goal was that my hometown lacked a skatepark. After sending several editorials to the local paper, attending city council meetings, selling the idea to local businesses tired of skateboarder presence, and gathering petition signatures, a skatepark was constructed. While the professional skateboarding career didn't work out, the experience taught me that a determined individual can change a community. Throughout the process, I became aware that I possessed a gift for communicating with all types of people. Ever since I've immersed myself in different forms of communication from music and photography to social media and marketing communications. But there's so much more than that, I'm a competitor through and through. It started with skateboarding and working tirelessly to teach myself new tricks, then to other sports where I've learned the importance of leadership and teamwork. For me, individual achievements are great and admirable but being a part of a successful team is where the real payoff is. My specialties include research, content creation, customer service, brand management, and quality control. I'm proficient with Microsoft Word, Trello, Hootsuite, Google Docs, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom and Premiere, Final Cut, Google Analytics, Wordpress, Squarespace and Microsoft Excel.TLDR: I'm goal-oriented, hardworking, creative, and can work alone, but I shine as a team player and love to be involved in my community.
