ANDIE K. BROWN-GROCHALA

Seattle

Summary

Hi my name is Andie, and I am 21 years old and from Montville, New Jersey. I have established this next phase of my life in Seattle, Washington, where I go to Seattle University for photography in the hopes of earning my BFA and working in the fine arts industry after graduation. I would love the opportunity to join a team where I can build upon my skills in retail, work directly with clients, and eventually grow into a position with more responsibilities. I pride myself on my work ethic, and excel in situations where I can fully dedicate myself to my craft and to my team.
