Who Is Sam?

I worked in the fashion industry for a company named Luxottica. I have been in multiple divisions underneath their umbrella which has also helped make me pretty fashion-forward and up-to-date with all of the latest trends. We had multiple high end designer brands underneath our umbrella including Burberry, Chanel, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana,  Gucci, Prada, and Tiffany & Co. to name a few. I truly loved my time working with Luxottica and learning as much as I could about fashion.

Fun Fact: I can help you find the perfect pair of sunglasses or prescription glasses to fit your face/personality

My dream job would to work in the music industry with a marketing, advertsing or even A&R job. I would love to work for Universal Music Group or any of the big three, or even a record label like Interscope, Atlantic Records, RCA, etc.

I am a very hard worker and extremely loyal, but enjoyable person to work with. I like working with teams that are like family, while I always strive to make sure any team I am spearheading has a sort of family-like atmosphere to it.

I am also a Zillennial, so I am that perfect in between of knowing what appeases both the older and younger demogaphics, while I try my best to stay up to date with trends, pop culture, lingo, etc

I am also very social, and have very good social/street skills as well as education skills

My friends would say I am very adaptable, ambitious, creatuve, compassionate, daring, dedicated, intelligent, loving, outgoing, passionate, strategic; but all-around a loveable goofball who loves to help others & bring people together

I really want to learn more. I feel like my time with the fashion & luxury industries had hit their peak with me learning as much as I could in my current roles. 

I really want to learn more about the music, entertainment and tech/gaming industries to expand my knowledge in those areas. I feel like I can gain a lot from them, while the future companies I work for can also gain a lot from me with how creative I think as well.

I also really, like really, want to finally have a mentor in life. I feel like I could benefit from one if given the right mentor and vice versa

I have never had a professional mentor in life, but would love one! A few names that come to mind would be Alessandro Michele, Billy Porter, Bretman Rock, Bryan Lourd, Jimmy Fallon, John Janick, Kelly Clarkson, Kris Jenner, Pharrell Williams, Sir Lucian Grainge, Riccardo Tisci, Seth MacFarlane, Tamara Hall, or Tina Fey

I moved to Los Angeles in late 2018, but had an internship the summer of 2016 that made me fall in love with the city and have been here ever since

Yes, remote is actually my most ideal option. I have nieces and family members who are getting older to where I want to start spending more time with them as much as I possibly can. I wouldn't mind hybrid or even a 9-to-5 in a fun environment

I am really big on family, and helping out my family, friends who are like family, and even the needy or prospective high schoolers/collegues find their potentials/passions in life. I just really like helping people, but have always wanted to do it on a larger scale! 

I have been told that I am very good at bringing people together. Every time I have had a big life event occur someone finds their significant other to get married too. I have already had 8 people I know get married through meeting their significant other through me.
