  Animated Character

  As we've all seen characters dressed up at Disney World, Universal Studios and other theme parks, I was able to be involved in the magic of bringing characters to life, producing joy and laughter for children and their families. I was also involved in the previous "Kidz Show" seasonal production of Madi Gras, Holloween and Summer dances aside from the meet and greets, dinner parties and Macy's Day Parade. I played 5 characters: Scooby-Doo, Cat-in-the-Hat, Grinch, Marge Simpson and Bullwinkle. My time at Universal came to a close when I moved from Orlando after college and accepted a position closer to home. Show less

  CCG Enterprises

  Mar 2014 - May 2016

  Marketing/Media & Retail Sales Manager

  Through strategic planning in creating awareness of my company, I have placed our social media, website and communication efforts at a higher priority to reach the residential and retail side of our construction business. Aware that construction is not the "popular go-to" subject for the typical crowd, y team has put into practice developing our company's character and mission for all to see. Throughout the marketing mission of creating awareness of our company, we have also attempted to raise awareness in the aspect of home maintenance - a new idea and very much needed program for residential home owners. Throughout my efforts in marketing, I obtained the title of Retail Sales Manager, handling the customer service, sales, scheduling and marketing of the Retail Division, while also keeping the marketing and advertising fresh for our other customers, such as Residential Builders and Commercial Builders. Our marketing efforts have mostly integrated with video, pictures and graphics, showing our "new look," mission in modernizing our industry and the personality of our company. The motto for CCG has been "The quality of our work is a direct reflection of who we are," which is why our marketing efforts have only been the highest quality and only getting better. To inquire more about my strategy in marketing or to learn more about CCG, please do not hesitate to contact me through LinkIn. Show less

  Paper Jacket

  May 2016 - now

  Video has always been a passion of mine and it only grew once I got involved with video marketing. Telling stories through visual presentation is what excites me every day. I both teach and learn with video, which is what first connected me to video marketing. I learned of my story telling skills to help promote businesses and drive profit. With experience in video, sales and running my own division in the entitlement/responsibilities of running my own business, I've learned the techniques of what does and does not work. Anything marketing, creative or not, should always drive profit - and I love doing just that.My business partner (also known as my brother, Johnny) started Paper Jacket Marketing with our combined skills - him being the website, graphic design and creative guru and me with sales strategy and video.
