Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
November 29, 2022

IDENTITY
I was born and raised in a relatively small town in upstate
New York, and I've always desired to move away in search of
better opportunities. I came to Florida with a desire to
provide for myself and a passion for helping others. After
pursuing a sales career for over 4 years, I found that I truly
enjoyed engaging with people and helping them change their
lives with a product. This inspired me to think further and
create a vision for how I could contribute to the
entertainment industry, which has always had a positive
impact on my life. I believe the entertainment industry is one
of the best methods to inspire, connect, and have a positive
influence on others.

As you are familiar with how competitive the entertainment industry is, I would love
the opportunity to separate clients/organizations from the competition through
effective marketing strategies. I have had the opportunity to oversee and take part
in event and campaign planning with exceptional results in my professional
experience and during my time at Full Sail.
