Objective:
I am grateful to have worked myself since 2005 running an entertainment business with several employees. However, as Covid-19 changes the world, it has already changed the entertainment industry indefinitely.
I am seeking a full time position in a new industry that will allow me to use my skills of creating personal connections and memorable interactions in an exciting environment that allows me to lead and grow.
I take pride in my work and thrive on being part of a cohesive team. I would love to work with other passionate people to solve problems and accomplish goals and I enjoy learning from others.
