About

I am a former collegiate athlete with two years advertising agency experience and four years of experience as a graphic designer. I am extremely creative, open minded, I am ready to listen and to learn, I am driven, mentally tough, confident, willing to try and to fail, determined to succeed, some times arrogant, all the time humble and most importantly ready to work my tail off. I laugh a lot, I rarely cry and my day does not feel complete until I have had at least one piece of chocolate.
