Hello, Hope all is well! My name is Elena Páez Puente and I am currently in the search for a full-time or part-time job. I graduated from the New York Film Academy, and have participated and acted in several independent films. I engage in digital photography as well. I have edited small clips/videos, and taken photographs for content purposes for a company as well. I will leave a link to my photography portfolio at the end. I recently did an internship where I worked primarily in assisting the sound technician, assisted with audio and lighting, and I also recently did tech for a short-play festival. I am eager to learn and grow more, as I am growing a passion and interest for the technical side of both theatre and film. I have also worked as a 2nd AC on a film set and have experience with camera equipment. I worked in after-school programs, as well as teaching adults with special needs (DDD program). I am fluent in both English and Spanish, and have experience teaching in both languages. I have taught several adults language and fine motor skills, math, and reading as well. I also worked as a sales representative and as an administrative assistant, which have helped me gain experience in costumer service. I am detail oriented, organized, and have excellent communication skills. Photography Portfolio: _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_
