In My Own Words
I'm an ambitious, young action photographer / videographer. I love how far I've come from the first time I picked up a camera almost as much as I love how far I could still go. I'm looking to work somewhere that can invest in my potential while also relishing everything I bring to the table.
What can I say? I've been doing digital marketing for around six years now with five different companies. I've done direct mail, email, social media, SEO, paid ads each for a short while. I've fallen in love with creation over distribution, but my history in distribution drives a lot of my creative decisions.
