Summary
Creative Photographer with a robust background in photography sales and marketing, customer service, and project management.

Collaborative projects taught me the importance of teamwork and effective communication, while hands-on assignments prepared me for on-location shoots and studio setups. This academic foundation enables me to identify client needs swiftly and deliver innovative solutions that exceed expectations.
