    Ever since I was young, mechanics, creative design, and engineering have been at the forefront of my passion. Though I did not choose to continue my way to being a journalist in college, I found fortitude in studying marketing, where I gained great business experience through various internships. Having worked in the automotive world for most of my early career, I developed mechanical know-how, and combined that with honest salesmanship, and exceptional customer service. Fast forward to graduation, and I am now in a sales support role, doing inside sales work and marketing for a machine tool manufacturer in Los Angeles. Upon moving here, I also enrolled at Cerritos College where I take various classes on geometrical tolerancing, blueprint reading, CAD/CAM classes, as well as machine shop classes. Through work, I am gaining valuable experience setting up marketing campaigns, fielding inbound sales calls, as well as overseeing an entire nation of factory-direct sales people, as well as indirect distributor network. I have always maintained a passion for creative writing, combined with Microsoft literacy, in addition to CAD programs, and online content creation. I look forward to expanding my skill set even further, and helping others achieve success along the way!
