Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

In a nutshell: Comes with a variety of interests and skillsets, strong problem solving skills, quirky sense of humor, and a penchant for movie quotes. Complete with a variety of experience and knowledge in areas from hospitality and gaming to retail, sales and broadcast.

The fast paced environment of Casino, Hospitality and Broadcast has taught me to work quickly and efficiently under pressure and extreme time constraints.
