Entertainment Business Student Growth Hacker ; I help Production Companies grow and accelerate their business!
Ever since childhood, I was fascinated with business, beauty and the arts. I insisted on directing plays and casting my brothers as the lead. I loved nothing more than putting on a show and learning about artists, actors and world leaders.
In my teenage years, I launched my own clothing line during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, where I was heralded as, “The next Alexander McQueen" by media professionals.
I fell in love with seeing the look in a client’s eye after booking a leading role or seeing their spirits lifted because of one of my many pep talks. It was then when I realized my true purpose to become a Film Development Executive.
To make this goal a reality, I am completing my Bachelor of Science in Entertainment Business at Full Sail University and I'm also an Academic Member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. In my spare time, I continue to study Makeup Artistry, Dramatic Arts, and Photography. I look forward to combining these skills with my work experience to excel as a Talent Director.
At the moment, I'm hoping to transition into an Assistant position ideally in the Motion Picture & Video Industry.
Throughout the fashion industry, I met all kinds of fascinating people and found myself giving motivational speeches everywhere I went. Whether I was speaking to students, media professionals, or successful entrepreneurs I made sure to leave words of encouragement and insight to whoever was in my presence. I began to hear the words, “you’ve inspired me", more and more often. People I was speaking to were actively pursuing their dreams and thriving in life!
They would always thank me for my consistent positivity and empowerment. That’s when I decided to dedicate my life to helping others discover their dreams and immediately moved to NYC to pursue a career in the Entertainment Industry. I began working as an Executive Assistant for a Live Events company which is where I learned how to negotiate vendor and venue contracts, fundraise, and lead a team.
I wanted to get experience in all facets of the Entertainment Industry until I found my niche. Consequently, shortly after moving to NYC I received my certification in Multimedia Make-up Artistry from Make-up Designory. As a makeup designer, I've built an extensive background in my field with professional modeling clientele such as Wilhelmina and Ford Models.
Upon graduating from Make-up Designory, I knew I wanted to contribute more to the entertainment world. I then went to receive an offer from Nine9 Modeling and Acting New York where I went from being the Receptionist to quickly earning the title of Talent Manager.
