MORE ABOUT ME + WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
I have always been an "organized creative"...for many years I worked in the business world while perusing the arts on the side. In recent years I have been in school for the arts and doing business on the side. Those business skills are essential to who I am and how I work now in the photographic industry.
From supervising a customer support group for a large International corporation to running the office of a small family business, I have the know-how to whip data into shape, the can-do attitude to find solutions to the problems and the knack to be able to communicate with clients on all levels.
Upon returning to school for my BFA I have gained the experience of working in a studio, working with printers and the ins and outs of the many ways to do something in Photoshop. I have had the opportunity to assist a portrait photographers both in the studio and on location as well as held an internship at a studio doing everything from retouching product, to organizing images, to creating wedding albums to working with clients.
I am confident that I can do whatever it is you may need! Whether it be studio managing (or helping out your studio manager!), assisting in the studio or on location, or retouching, I would love to be given the opportunity to learn more and grow. Currently I am available on a part time or per assignment basis and would love to hear from you.
