I consider myself an avid consumer of media. I listen to various Hip Hop podcasts daily and I also have my own rendition of a podcast. The name of my podcast is "Despicably Optimistic," our podcast is a blend of social commentary, music/movie reviewing, and eccentric humor. The general premise of our podcast is to make a positive out of any negative situation. I am also well versed in marketing, I held a marketing position at Jimmy Jazz for about 1-2 years where I served as a brand ambassador and sneaker blogger. Apart from my personality work I am also a seasoned foodie on Instagram, no pun intended. I have amassed over 79 thousand followers on the social media platform based off of my food pictures alone.

A vast understanding of media can provide great things for me in the future. I am an aspiring writing, I began writing my first novel in 2017, entitled A Wise Man Once Said Nothing. My aspirations for this novel are very ambitious because I one day do dream of bringing this story to the big screen. Apart from writing I would also love a job somewhere withing Hip Hop journalism. I think it would be a great place for me to build relationship while also doing something that I love.
One project that I and my team are currently working on is transitioning our podcast from just audio to also a video production. We partnered up a with a production company called Push.28 based out of Bloomfield, NJ. We hope to one day soon have our podcast on Youtube as well a all other major streaming services. At the moment we are only on soundcloud and the Apple Podcasts app.

One of the many projects that I embarked on through Jimmy Jazz was a TV pilot that we shot for BET Networks. The name of the show was "Destination Phresh." My partner on the show was a young man named Terry Mcfly. Terry had a vast resume and many relationships within the Hip Hop media culture. He was also a Brand Ambassador for General Motors, so any city that we were in GM would give a Cadillac CTS to ride around in. Our show was going to be similar to Guy Fieri's Drive In's, Diners, and Dives, the difference was that apart from great food we would also visit the most popular sneaker boutique in the area. The Pilot unfortunately was never picked up by BET, and Jimmy Jazz's digital marketing strategies were soon revamped.
