A bi-lingual graduate of the Illinois Institute of Art-Schaumburg with 15 years of experience in the entertainment, fashion, and beauty industries. As a long-time manager and leader, I have acquired the knowledge necessary to delegate tasks, maintain organization and thoughtful efficiency with a portfolio of work. I have worked on several freelance projects that have allowed me apply those skills into retail, photo shoots, online digital content, fashion shows, and other acclaimed productions both locally and abroad. (Please see attached resume for professional experience) Along with my time at the Art Institute, I am also a graduate of Empire Beauty School with a state-issued license to practice in Illinois, and a graduate of William Rainey Harper College. Also to be noted is effective time spent at Columbia College Chicago. I continue to be ambitious in becoming a well-rounded and efficient leader in my current position. And if your company is looking for a visionary, insightful, forward-thinking manager, I would be an interested candidate to speak with you to discuss the value that my strengths, and experience can bring to your company.
