Objective: To utilize my expertise with Print Production and as a Sales Executive in the Printing Industry.
As a well-seasoned production person, I can communicate with printing plants-foreign and domestic. As my most
recent positions in Sales, I can easily answer my clients' production questions. I have a BA Degree in Color
Theory, which drove me to be a quality printer with a focus on critical color.
