Summary
I am a Film graduate from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee with a versatile background spanning creative media, education, and hospitality. My experience as a Video Editor at Gotham Artists and Photographer at School and Sport Pics equipped me with strong technical and creative skills, while my roles as a Tutor, Summer School Para, and Teacher Assistant deepened my understanding of student needs and how to foster motivation through engaging learning. In hospitality, bartending strengthened my communication with people from all walks of life and proved my ability to thrive under pressure in fast-paced environments. Across all roles, I bring strengths in time management, creativity, productivity, and initiative, along with a commitment to growth and consistently giving my best to achieve success.
