Summary

As an experienced digital storyteller, I am a creative, fast learner who's adaptable and flexible in multiple environments.

I have knowledgeable and hands-on experience using the entire Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, etc.), in which I use to communicate in the digital realm. Due to my years of work experience, I have transferrable skills that would benefit other areas of communication. I have knowledge in not only communicating ideas visually, but also audibly (podcasts) and through the written word (scripts).

If you're looking for a personable and dedicated team member to work with, look no further than this resume. I’m looking forward to new experiences/challenges that lie ahead.
