Marketing/ Photography/ web design

[SS06]

My name is Suzanne and I am a native to Colorado and I would like to work in the Denver/ Metro area. I have a degree in photography as well as just graduating with a degree in Marketing. In my time of obtaining these life goals I have had six years of experience in many areas of these two fields.

In the photography/ marketing fields I have worked as:
•A production artist at whole people.com, where I sped up the time in which the web site could be launched due to productivity. I also assisted the photographers in order to get more products on the site.
•A photographer for Life Touch Portraits where I was able to take a large amount of pictures during a shift and had a very low rate of re-takes which aided in the company saving money and time.
•A studio manager / assistant for a local photographer where I was able to shoot for him in order for him to take on more work which in turn would make him more profitable and I was able to learn more about my skills and capabilities.
•An intern for the Denver Police Activities League where I was able to use my skills in PowerPoint and photography in making a presentation for an annual ball, where I was able to work well under pressure and gave them a great presentation and was asked to return the following year.
•A senior sales associate for PlayFair Toys where I was a head sales associate all years employed and had many return clients which in-turn brought many new customers and profit to the company. I also designed displays around the store which sold more products.
•An office manager / web builder and designer which brought in more clients and attention from around the globe to his business which he did not have before.

All of these experiences have taught me, a strong work ethic, to have an eye for detail, to work unsupervised as well as a team, to get others motivated, to manage time in order to get the job done in a timely matter, and many others which make me stand out from a crowd.

I look forward to putting all of these accomplishments towards new career opportunities.

Thank you for your time,

Suzanne
