Theater Kid Turned Strategist

"Less shakedowns and more Shakespeare"

— J. Cole / The Philosophy

Music always amazes me when artists embrace the power to tell a story. These celebrities are a reflection of the American culture, whether they're giving deep cuts on their coming of age story or boasting about their access.

Telling stories has been the greatest opportunity every job experience has given me. From analyzing price points to figuring out a social strategy, I have been able to talk about an experience or use relatable narratives to drive action for complex problems.

I haven't given up my passion for theater and filmmaking. My entrepreneur aspirations are centered around combining the needs of diverse community with the eclectic, innovative nature of art.

I noticed a couple things that made Edwin a special talent: his genuine compassion for others and his strong analytical skills. His ability to break down problems, using simple every day analogies to help stakeholders understand his recommendations is unparalleled.
