About Me

When I was younger, having a creative vision is what always made me stand out from the crowd. During my experience at Toronto Film School and their fast-paced 18-month program, I received the opportunity to refine and showcase my creative approach to many projects in marketing, merchandising, and brand development to name a few. Now, being a recent graduate I hope to have the opportunity to utilize my creative vision where I can be a part of a team, focus on my strengths, work directly with clients and a career that allows me to focus on personal and professional growth.
