Additional Information

My life has been a rollercoaster ride that could make for a compelling movie. I have dabbled in various professions, from teaching to being an assistant, and even winning an Oscar. I took on the challenge of owning a brick-and-mortar clothing store with no prior experience, which eventually led to me redirecting the store to a mobile platform. With goals of becoming a Costume Designer, I made the bold more of relocating to Los Angeles.

My skillset is diverse and eclectic, ranging from education to mathematics, and proficiency in Microsoft Office. I am also known for my creativity, ability to craft, curate vintage collections, provide emotional support, and organize events. I am a world traveler, life coach and art collector, always up for new challenges and dreaming big.

Whenever I don't know something, I am quick to find resources for guidance. I am a team player who knows how to lead, always working hard and never backing down form a challenge.

While my resume may appear average, in person, I am a force to be reckoned with. My passion, dedication, and can-do attitude make me pretty amazing.
