Profile
I have an entrepreneurial and energetic spirt with a burning desire to apply my
skills and experience into disrupting the news business once again. I believe
that learning is a life-long process. I act and think progressively always asking
what is the next best step. It’s sometimes filled with failure, but always with
knowledge gained and then applied.
