I started working at age 16 and began 1 year at college before accepting a job offer at Eastman Kodak Company for 15 years. I also attended night college while working for my Associate's degree. I also attended Hochstein music school at a different time period before going back to college while working at Kodak. I learned skills at Kodak that are valuable in other areas of my life. I worked Production service team, and we had to take classes and learn about the Corporate world. I decided to leave Eastman Kodak after I was offered a position at at local college. I kept up all music and arts after work in the evenings. I am now self employed as a Professional singer and dance, musician. I decided to finish college and get my Bachelor's degree in English literature. I am full time involved in the arts of music, theater and dance full time. This is what ultimately is fulfilling and rewarding to me. I am grateful for the good vast work experience as I had to work and could not go directly to college after graduation. It was important to me to finish college since I had started. I believe in finishing the work that you start. My working in the business world is a very important aspect that pertain to my career in the arts and I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to learn those skills, to brain storm, to innovative and creative and to think creatively also in business pertaining to artists. It's very important to also love what you do and that is the passion that drives me.
