Summary

I am creative and thrive in planning and have been able to create monthly events for my current position. I enjoy doing things for others and am quick to have ideas for making my employees and everyone else's environment less stressful. I love being able to celebrate who they are and what they do.


I also have owned my own photography business for the last 10 years and love to dive into the behind the scenes of that.
