Profile
A self-starter and quick learner looking for a position with a creative team. Versatile skill set with experience in graphics, media editing, production, customer service, and common sense. I’m loyal and dependable; obsessive and self-motivated; a detail-oriented team player who will never shrink from a challenge. If I go home at the end of the day having learned something new – about myself, my job, or the world around me – then it was a day well spent.
