About Me

Up Close & Personal

I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to build a career by doing what I love. From a young age I’ve been focused and goal driven. When I had a vision for my professional future, I decided to make it happen.

I’m thrilled to say that I’ve learned from so many trained professionals in my field, but I know that I still have so much to learn from others in the industry. I’m a hard worker, a team player and excited to see what projects could benefit from my unique skill set. I’d love to chat with you about how we might work together in the future.
