Additional Information
When I first picked up a guitar, and did my first paint brush stroke with photoshop and did my first edit in premiere pro and my first effect in After effects, I was in love. So for a little over 16 years I have been using all of those and still feel like I have so much to learn. I am eager to learn and contribute to a lovely company such as yours.
A few years ago I was Diagnosed with a Neurological disease and lost the use of the right side of my body. I had to learn for around three years how to re-use my body, my hands, and my reflexes and muscle memories. It created a determination in me to come back stronger than ever. So now that I have gotten the correct care and rehabilitation, I am chomping at the bit to use my talents, improve my talents, and take my career to the next level.
What I may lack in formal education I am making up for with experience and obtaining certifications in all of the programs I currently use, as well as learning Marketing Analytics, UX Design, Blender, Adobe 3D and continually learning each day. I dedicate 3-4 hours of study in these fields each weekday, increasing the tools I can bring to the table.
I worked as a Manager/Dispatch/Website designer/Graphic Designer/Advertising/Commercial Video editing and animations.
I did this at a Taxi and Medical Transport company. I had to keep track of real-time vehicles and work with customers on the phone, as well as Hospitals and treatment centers. Because of my good habits and nice manners on the phone, I was able to help that company go from 50k it's first year, to over 300k by the third year.
I helped to accomplish that through building trust with our customers as well as our clients within the Medical world.
