CAREER SUMMARY
Interning in college at a radio station to get my foot in the door has led to an enjoyable career in advertising and marketing. I have over eleven years of experience in all aspects of communication, from public relations to marketing, for over 30 different clients in several fields. I am extremely creative, organized and have the ability to multi-task. I have recently started to consult in Social Media Management.
