I am a self-motivated professional with effective communication skills (written and verbal), and strong telephonic etiquette. I can work independently or as part of a team to help achieve personal and organizational goals. I am deeply passionate about directing, writing, and creating movement choreography. I have directed and produced my own 50-minute feature film, which I submitted to the BFI film festival. I also have experience in management, hospitality, and teaching Drama/English Language, which has honed my ability to manage people and multi-task while keeping sight of the bigger picture. My natural energy and enthusiasm help me build relationships based on mutual respect. I strive to share best practices with colleagues to expand and improve my skill range, continually learning. I see the present as a platform to learn and enjoy, while looking to the future for more opportunities to apply my skills.
