My academic training and seven years of experience working as an independent media artist and hospitality professional has prepared me to be an effective entertainment industry leader. I recently obtained an MBA in Media Management where my thesis examined the media industry and how the growth of digital platforms will affect and shape the future distribution environment. I also received an MFA in Filmmaking where my thesis film, The Brothers Texas, was awarded Best Screenplay and has screened at numerous international film festivals since it’s premiere. Throughout my studies and practical application, I’ve mastered the skills required to succeed in entertainment business like developing, financing, production and acquisitions and I especially enjoy topics in management and distribution.
