My "day to day" requires me to be at the top of my "being in the know" game. If you were to take a glance at my desktop you would see me scouring the Internet for anything related to movies, culture, fashion, writing, social media, technology, branding and anything in between. When Gordon Gecko says "the most valuable commodity I know of is information" in Wall Street, I can't help but to agree with him and embody his words. Being informed allows me to concept and execute ideas that are relevant and tailored for any client.
By night you can find me digging into what I believe I am truly called to do: writing. My writing takes me to places I can only dream of and experiences that a person wish they have had. To be able to turn my love of cinema into a profitable venture through screenwriting is a goal I pursue with diligence and patience. As Lloyd Dobler says in Say Anything, "I am looking for a dare to be great situation." And just like during the day, I spend my nights researching and learning (watching movies/reading scripts) ways to turn my writing and my creativity into stories. An asset that is truly needed in this day and age of brand storytelling.
