I believe that if a finished product is just "good enough", then it is not really finished at all. My passion for advertising and marketing ensures that when I take a project from concept through completion, it is never just "good enough".
With advanced verbal and written communication skills, employers find me to be a versatile go-getter whose fulfillment comes from exceeding the expectations of others - employers and customers alike. A quick learner of new technology and computer programs, my level head allows me to thrive in fast-moving environments that require I wear many hats. Working under a deadline is actually one of my strengths.
I believe that repeat business comes from happy customers. Reach out to me, so we can make some customers happy, together!
If viewing my work has piqued your curiosity about who I am as a person, please read on...
Not to sound too cliche, I enjoy sunsets (but not long walks on the beach) and looking at the sky. And I LOVE eating good food. In fact, after 50 years in this body, I have finally begun to treat it right, with a plant-based diet and good clean eating.
I refuse to spend another year commuting to the extent that 20 full days out of the year are spent away from home, on the road. Life is so short.
I think that having conversations with humans is a must. There is an energy that comes from it. I do love my fur babies, and they are amazing listeners, but they are not great at conversing.
I believe you can train your mind to see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness in your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Like most people, I understand that sometimes life is anything but fair. I just try to remember that everything is temporary, reminding myself during tough times that, "This too, shall pass."
I think it's important to move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
Being the oldest of five children makes me a natural caretaker and self-appointed fixer of problems. As such, one of my greatest challenges is letting go of things over which I have no control.
As a team player, I also work well independently with minimal supervision.
Not to name-drop, but I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
And now I'm going to talk about my favorite hobby: Photography! It is, after all, an art of observation. It's about finding something INTERESTING in an ordinary place. It has little to do with the things I see and everything to do with the WAY I see them and how they make others FEEL. When people look at my photos, I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem TWICE. Photography is the story I don't need to put into words, the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world. And if you don't think photos are that important, just wait until they're all you have left.
