In My Own Words

I am a hardworking, well-rounded, and fast-learning individual looking to grow, learn, and refine my skills in the lifestyle industry. I have a strong ability to follow directions.e I've spent the majority of my time in photo studios as a studio hand and a JR photographer at La Jolla Group. I thrive in creative and fast-paced environments, as well as team environments. I love meeting new people, learning from new people, and creating relationships with new people. The other half of the time I spent in the lifestyle industry was working in the Oneill Surf co-showroom store connected to the HQ building as a retail sales associate. There I used my strong communication skills and problem-solving skills to build relationships with customers and team riders to help pick out products.
