Although I currently teach part-time at the University of Tampa, I am seeking a full-time position in my areas of expertise. Between my Master’s of Art in Media Studies from the University of South Florida and my professional experience producing video and radio content within entertainment and higher education, you will benefit from my specialized background. Furthermore, my experience teaching screenwriting and video production in the department of communication at the University of Tampa provides me with a scholarly approach to production, writing, and story development that will benefit your current and upcoming projects. My knowledge, passion for, and ability to communicate with diverse audiences is consistently visible in my content on social media. I am someone who thrives as an analytical mind in a creative environment.
Beyond my careers in entertainment and education, I hobby as a figure skater! Strong mind, strong body.
