About Yourself:

About You:

While currently on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual maturity, one thing that’s always worked for me is learning. As an Entertainment Business major and Junior in college (currently on hiatus) I’ve had the opportunity to aid some friends in their quest to becoming well-know recording artists and industry professionals, establishing Reverb Nation profiles, managing social media accounts, booking performances and even sometimes acting as novice assistant, promoter, record consultant, manager and publicist. Im an aspiring writer, I breathe eat and sleep music and writing. I’ve studied music all of my life as an art and want to start my own publishing company and write songs and work with some really amazing artists. As a developing songwriter with a BMI affiliation I am co-founder of a currently non-profit independent Entertainment Company, Powerhause Entertainment.
Some my specific film accomplishments include:

· Production Assistant (Intern) this summer for Walls Farm Productions on low-budget film “Beach Pillows”.

In addition to the freelance work, I‘ve previously taken courses in music marketing, ProTools, public relations, journalism. I’ve also received a certification in Microsoft Office as well as certificates of acknowledgement for the completion of business workshops through the Small Business Association (SBA.gov).

Finally, I’d like to express my passion for having been engaging in social media since 2007, in which I enjoy the freedom that comes with it in regards to creativity and voice. I love to cook, I’m looking forward to making a complete life change to all things organic. I adore reading and helping others. I have more than 5 years of Customer Service experience. I hope to one day receive a Master’s Degree of Philosophy and eventually I desire to be married with children. I get excited during holidays and I love sharing my life experiences with others. Sometimes I talk a lot, but I don’t mind listening to others. Comfort food makes me happy and I long to get out and see all that the many entertainment scenes have to offer. Live to love, encourage, empower and inspire; mind body, spirit and soul.
