What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, allowing me to utilize my artistic skills while contributing to a dynamic team.

I am a passionate visual artist with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from York University, specializing in painting, art history, film, and philosophy. My journey as a freelance artist has allowed me to explore various mediums and techniques, while also honing my skills in photography and design. I thrive on creativity and enjoy sharing my artistic vision with others.

Throughout my career, I have held various managerial roles, including Marketing Manager at Alarm Guard-ADT Security and Art Director at The Artist Studios. In these positions, I successfully generated leads, managed teams, and implemented innovative marketing strategies that significantly increased clientele and engagement. My experience in curating art exhibitions and performances has deepened my understanding of the art community and strengthened my commitment to supporting local artists.

As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to find opportunities that allow me to combine my artistic talents with my management skills. I believe in the power of collaboration and am dedicated to creating spaces where creativity can flourish.
