About 

I am an energetic young person interested in the positions in development, production or project
management for a design or culturally focused organization.  I really enjoy interacting with people and do well when team work is required. On the flip side, I also self-motivate well and am ready and willing to keep my nose to the grindstone until the job is done. My curiosity is through the roof and basically my main goal as of the moment in life is to continue to educate myself in as many ways as possible, outside a formal classroom. I think all these skills and qualities would really make a great candidate for many organizations and I’d really love the opportunity to show you what I’m worth.
