Production assistant at Tyler Perry Studios

“I found my studies to be very relevant to my experience there… I like to think of marketing as a skill set, an art and a study. Marketing has so many forms, making it applicable to many, if not, all interests. I used it in the way I completed my tasks, the way I engaged with people and the way I thought about the many processes involved in the production life.”

What’s next: Working at Creative Artists Agency in Los Angeles
