Creative Project Manager

I'm a marketing Project Manager with a history of working in the advertising industry. I pride myself on my attention to detail and have successfully produced many quality products from inception to completion. My background ranges from full website designs to digital content to multimedia campaigns. I have a thorough understanding of the art process and streamlining it to deliver on deadlines. I also work on the account management side, so I understand the importance of managing and meeting client expectations. I feel very comfortable building client relationships and speaking to clients one-on-one.

I'm known for my upbeat personality, I always try to instill motivation and excitement amongst teammates. I can navigate problems and find the best possible solution, and I'm adaptable and calm even in the most fast-paced and high-pressure situations. 

Project management is my passion!
