THAT’s ME OVER THERE (At A BUSINESS CONFERENCE IN CANNES)

How I got there;

• Growing up on an island, I developed a deep appreciation for beauty through the power of nature.

• I have sincere love of art history… and video games; two very different fields that somehow both fuel my creative drive and innovative thinking.

• Despite an intense fear of flying, my love of travel and experiences living outside the US have fostered an understanding of diverse cultures and perspectives, and reinforced my belief that perseverance is the key to success.

I left the island and moved to Boston to obtain my master’s degree and pursue new opportunities. My passion for presentation design is rooted in a desire to blend art and communication to craft compelling narratives. My mission in life is that no one will have to sit through a boring presentation ever again.

Shameless plug
