Who am I?

"I had enhanced my already powerful education by studying Multimedia Technology at The College of Westchester. My Suma cum Laude average and my New York University Gallatin degree provided me with me excellent skills. By matching education with experience I have gained the ability to thrive at most anything creative. My 25-yr.+ background in photography (including two years at the SUNY Purchase Film Department), writing (New York University Gallatin Division), and advertising/marketing/photography (Boston University School of Management and Public Communications) give me a sound base to produce superior interactive communications projects. I am also an avid singer and songwriter (just for fun). I have great interest in psycology, interaction, and communications and a desire to achieve a Master's degree. My academic and practical background coupled with my strong work ethic and desire to succeed drives me forward with continuous inspiration. I am a modern artist with a knack for administration and management."
