About

I am a sales advisor at Best Buy and a freelance media producer working toward an associate of arts degree in business marketing. I have over four years of experience in planning, shooting, and editing high-end media content for various clients, ranging from small businesses to online communities. I am proficient in video production, video editing, and video post-production skills, and I use industry-standard tools and software to deliver quality results. As a sales advisor, I supervise and manage a team of employees during shifts, ensuring that they provide excellent customer service, maintain the store's appearance and security, and collaborate effectively. I also engage with customers, answer their questions, and address their concerns or complaints in a professional and timely manner. I enjoy working with people and helping them find the best solutions for their needs. As a freelance media producer, I work with clients to understand their media goals and create engaging and informative media projects that meet their expectations and budget. I coordinate and manage the production process, from planning and scripting to shooting and editing, and incorporate client feedback and revisions as needed. I am passionate about creating media content that captures the attention and interest of the audience and showcases the client's brand and message. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies and stay updated on industry trends and best practices. I am looking for an opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative team that values creativity, collaboration, and customer satisfaction.
