Driven to live life each day to its FULLEST.

I'll never forget what a highly influential grammar school teacher always said in class, over and over. "Be a doer." What does that mean? Years later I realized it meant don't sit on the couch wishing to have been a part of something greater.

As I start each day, I look for the opportunities that allow me to express myself while contributing towards a greater outcome, large and small. I look for meaning, reward and, most of all, a good challenge.

What makes me tick? Successfully bringing talent, money and resources together is the answer. Although I have a slight fear of failure --and that motivates me even further-- I define myself by my work and that keeps me motivated daily.

An authentic "Doer" must get his/her hands and feet wet. In fact, submerge. With that said, I must mention I am successful in fostering economic development, initiating and leading fundraising events, coordinating large conferences, as well as maintaining relationships with community benefactors.

As a media producer I have a keen respect for deadlines and I am highly experienced in multimedia production and marketing communications, spending over a decade in the many different aspects of video and film production, photography, journalism and advertising.

I possess enthusiasm for teamwork, strong written/oral communication skills, strong leadership competencies and a proven track record with project management. With the ability to integrate and synthesize a complex range of information, I bring to any organization advanced intellectual curiosity, a high level of work ethic, a passion for civic involvement and a dedication to success and the success of others. Exceeding the standard rather than merely meeting it is a tenet of my workmanship.

Thank you Ms. Payne. What does tomorrow hold?
