About Me

I am a detail-oriented, organized, and goal-oriented individual. Multi-tasking is a strong characteristic of mine, and I am able to handle multiple tasks and complete each one on time (if not before). I have vast experience in marketing, social media, advertising, psychology, research, and focus groups. My technical skills range from knowing Microsoft Office to Illustrator to SPSS.

I am a highly motivated individual who is always looking to learn and grow, while allowing others to do the same.
