OH, BUT THERE'S MORE! - accounting - professional writing - social media marketing - suppliers & vendor relations - corporate relations - office administration I started with DNA, for what was only to be a week or two, to help them execute a new concept. We clicked (brought together by fate & a torrential downpour). I became our On-site Team Lead. We slayed and had fun doing it. I was promoted to Team & Operations Coordinator. Today? We're still out here collectively slaying & having fun (kept together by fate, success & belly laughs). #teamworkmakesEVERYONESdreamwork THE DRIVE-IN EXPERIENCE - DEADWOOD HAUNTED DRIVE - ENCHANTED HOLIDAY DRIVE - ESCAPADE MUSIC FESITVAL - CRAVE FOOD & WINE DEADWOOD Haunted Drive was literally my childhood dream come true.
