Summary

Organized and dependable, I have 7 years of experience working in the film industry with clients of all types that have myriad needs. I'm a dedicated professional with a history of meeting company goals. I'm skilled in working under pressure and adapting to new situations and challenges. Previous to my career in film, I was a project coordinator for residential and commercial construction, giving me the knowledge and expertise to manage many aspects of a project simultaneously. The two professions combined have given me many unique abilities; not the least of which, is the passion and drive to bring all aspects of a project together in a way that not only meets my goals but encourages everyone involved to work with me again.
