I like to wear a lot of metaphorical hats. I can figure it out, and I can do it by tomorrow, too. I'm coachable, adaptable, a team player. I'm willing to try a lot, and take accountability if I get it wrong. My one year as a producer with MrBeast feels like five with how fast we'd move, but that's what I like. I have drive and refuse to conform to the mundane. I value transparency, flexibility, growth, and experiences. If I get to travel for work and collaborate with other influential individuals while breathing life into ideas, then I'm living my dream.
