What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my project management and sales skills in a dynamic environment focused on growth and innovation.

I am a results-driven professional with over a decade of experience in film production, marketing, and events management. My journey as an independent contractor in the film industry has equipped me with exceptional project management, sales, and client relations skills. I have a proven track record of coordinating large-scale projects, negotiating contracts, and managing creative teams, which has allowed me to thrive in dynamic environments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully built relationships and secured contracts that expanded market reach through personalized client engagement strategies. My expertise in managing complex projects from inception to completion, with a keen focus on budget oversight and resource allocation, has consistently led to timely delivery and client satisfaction. I am now eager to transition my skills into industries where I can leverage my extensive background in marketing, production, and event execution to drive revenue growth and enhance customer engagement.
