"From reading your job description and knowing a fair amount about the entertainment industry I believe an industry professional like myself should be a go-getter, persuasive, and determined never to take no as an answer. Just like myself, one must be ready to hustle and get the job done no matter what it takes. With that said, there should also be a softer side present when appropriate. For myself, it's important that I am approachable, honest, and transparent with my clients and those I represent."
