SUMMARY |
|
- |
|
Young, clever, and extremely energetic film lover seeks a film to throw her enthusiasm behind. With four years of working in public relations and being raised in the family business of photography and performance, I have the fearlessness and the intelligence to be an asset to any production.

SKILLS |
|

|
I am exceptionally dedicated and focused on my work, to the extent of being a partisan. I am willing and in fact eager to work on less desirable tasks if they benefit the company or production. Far from making me panic or crack, the only effect pressure has on me is improving my jokes.

Dick Blick Art Supply |

Helped manage a mid-size art store, with all the administrative and accounting responsibility that entails. An encyclopedic knowledge of the different art products, very patient customer service, and a great sense of humor are all necessary with an experienced professional artist clientele. Creating a myspace account, focusing on creative product displays, and doing outreach into the surrounding college campuses increased the store's sales more than 10% in one year.
