Business Consultant
This is the role of a lifetime!
I have over 25 years of experience in talent acquisition and HR, non-profit, systems integrations, and business consulting. Those were just my day jobs.
As a member of the Gomez Family Singers, I spent my earlier days on stage, in front of a camera or in a recording studio, more often in rehearsals, or taking piano, guitar, and voice lessons. I continued on with that passion and, after my day jobs, sang lead vocal for various cover bands, performed on stage, was a vocal coach, and directed live stage and musical performances.
I also love to write! Over the years I've composed several songs and was a contributing writer for a published book that included 25 other featured authors sharing stories as Filipino immigrants and our journey to success. I dabbled in a few screenplay concepts, even a musical, though they are all still in draft mode.
"If only there was an easier way for me to find other creatives, like myself, to collaborate with on my projects and help me share them with an audience!"
Truth is, I created ArtCee for myself. I had forgotten about the spirit of collaboration taught to me in my earlier days and I was trying to do it alone. Many of my industry friends and colleagues have since moved or moved on. I've also grown in different areas and my work reflected this. So where do I even start? How do I go about finding other creatives to collaborate with?
ArtCee started as a concept, a really good idea for someone else to create, an available database and online tool I could use to help me get connected. As I spoke with other creatives, it was clear there were several different platforms out there, each with a different use.
Unable to find specifically what I was looking for, one day I decided to combine my corporate expertise with my lifelong passion. It didn't take me long to realize this was how I wanted to contribute to this industry I love.
Just as with anything big in life, you can't do it all, all by yourself. I am grateful to my ArtCee team for their commitment to the vision and continued inspiration to our WHY. What an incredible journey this has been. I can't wait to see how far we all can take it!
