Available to hire
I am a confident and self-motivated professional who thrives both on my own initiative and as part of a team, always seeking creative solutions. I work well under pressure and bring a proactive, results-focused approach to every project.
My long-standing interest in global communications, computers (Mac/Linux), the Internet, and webpage development informs my work. I have volunteered as a conservationist for nature and culture, and these experiences have honed my interpersonal skills and broadened my worldview.
