The common thread that weaves through all my professional experiences, education, skills, and community involvement is the unwavering commitment to creativity, collaboration, and making a positive impact on others.
In all roles held to-date, I have consistently demonstrated creative (and empathetic) leadership/thinking, coupled with logical, data-driven approaches to decision making. all endeavors have required innovative thinking, attention to detail, and an effective ability to juggle multiple tasks/projects simultaneously with grace - such skills have collectively enabled me to inspire and guide creatives, mentor and support teams, and foster a culture of kindness, respect, and compassion internally across various industries, while my emphasis on collaboration and strong communication has allowed me to foster relationships with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and clients from a diverse range of backgrounds. furthermore, Education has been integral to my growth and development as a professional. My Master of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute and Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Loyola Marymount University have provided me with a unique perspective that complements my creative endeavors and enhances my ability to approach challenges from different angles.
Beyond professional pursuits, community involvement exists as one of my core values. As a Donor and Volunteer for various organizations such as The People Concern, Compton Community Garden, Children's Hospital LA, LA Animal Services, Inner-CityArts, and LACMA, I actively contribute to causes that align with my passion for making a positive difference in people's lives. additionally, My memberships in the California Art Education Association and the Counsel for Art Education further reflect my dedication to supporting and fostering creativity and education within the community.
The central mission that unites my professional experiences, education, skills, and community involvement is to leverage creativity and collaboration to drive positive change. Whether it's crafting exclusive travel experiences, creating impactful content campaigns, streamlining processes, or coordinating high-impact events, my ultimate goal is to make a meaningful impact on both clients and communities alike.
Through my website and interactions with others, I aim to showcase the power of creativity and its ability to transform lives, foster connections, and drive success. I believe that by working together, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other, we can create a brighter and more compassionate world, one creative endeavor at a time!
