I presently work as a sales planner in direct response ad sales for A&E Television Networks. I am occupied by reviewing A&E, The History Channel, Biography and History International. My daily grind includes analyzing revenue, forecasting and constant number crunching. I also deal with clients directly to negotiate rates and times for infomercial airings on the Biography Channel. In addition to this cable TV business, I have been doing back up singing and dancing for various recording artists in New York. I have performed at venues such as Shine, the Remy Lounge and Downtime. I have also made TV appearances on Fox 5's Good Day New York and the CBS Evening News.
I currently do not use French in the workplace, but I try to practice with friends whenever possible. I do have past work experience involving French though: Air France as a passenger service rep during Skidmore summer breaks as well as brief stint with Societe Generale Cowen as equity derivative trading assistant after graduation.
