Additional Information
My true passion is fashion and apparel. After I graduated CSUN, I worked in the independent film circuit and local theaters across LA. Escrow happened to be something I was great at and it is how I paid my way through college. I worked tirelessly for many years trying to get into the industry and become union but it just wasn’t in the cards for me. I am a hard worker, pick up things very fast and am extremely reliable.
