Introduction: I have over 16 years of developing and managing film production projects in various settings and a proven track record in creative direction. I have spent many of my professional years freelancing and consulting full-time in film production. I am grateful to have the experience of delivering industry-recognized creative solutions for various independent and top global media companies. I have driven social brand engagement across television, video, film and new screen media. I gained experience in video content management, creative advertising and brand campaign strategy. I also have experience in project development and cross-platform video production with a special focus on film and video. My skills mold me into a passionate entrepreneurial spirit and enables me to have the ability to think strategically and tactically. I also have the ability to perform effectively under pressure and to use strong organizational skills when faced with multiple time-sensitive priorities. I pride myself in my willingness to "roll-up my sleeves” and get the job done. I have developed projects and event from concept to implementation. With this attitude in 2009 I developed, ‘The DMV International Film Festival ‘ (DMVIFF) which was formed in London, England, then later brought to the United States.
I hold a B.A. in Mass Communications, with a concentration in Video Production, from Johnson C. Smith University. I also hold an M.A. in Film Video and New Screen Media from the University of East London.
