Almost all of my adult life, I have been plugged into the creative community. My expertise in the creative field is that of Illustration, design, photography, video production/post-production, audio production/post-production and teaching. As well, I am a multi-instrument musician.

With extensive experience in project management, training and team leadership within the technical and creative services industry, I have developed a comprehensive career as a Leader. 

My experience and expertise in team leadership, project management, budgeting, contract negotiations, and resource allocation have allowed me great career growth. I have always maintained sharp organizational skills, careful attention to detail, and an ability to work with speed and accuracy.

Some highlights of my career accomplishments include:
