Available to hire
I recently returned to Christchurch after spending 18 months in Wellington completing my Graduate Diploma in Publishing. I’m currently working in diverse roles at The Arts Centre and am eager to find an additional job that matches my interests and qualifications to further develop my work experience. I have a passion for publishing and creativity, and I enjoy working in retail and marketing environments.
With a background in English and Art History, alongside my publishing diploma, I have gained valuable experience in social media editing, retail assistance, content creation, and project management. I’m always excited to learn and take on new challenges that help me grow professionally while contributing positively to the organisations I work with.
