Daniel Weinshenker

James is a reliable, results-oriented team member. He joined the Queen's Journal halfway through the academic school year and in a short 4 months he built up a significant list of new advertising clients for the newspaper. James was very creative in his role as a Sales Representative at the Queen's Journal and was the first person to sell advertising on the Queen's Journal's mobile application. I would highly recommend James; he would be a valuable asset to any company.
