While embracing an entrepreneur spirit, I founded Affinity Pictures LLC, a company designed to provide professional photography and videography services. Served as the company's primary professional photographer, and ensured a continuously increasing sales quota by engaging with individuals, families and organizations to beautifully capture photographs of special events and memorable occasions. I also performed all general office duties such as scheduling appointments, bookkeeping and ordering supplies. During this time, I refined my professional, artistic, and technical skills in operating a creative-based business. While I greatly enjoyed and still value the experience, I decided to advance my career in another direction and closed operations at the end of 2013. Show less
