Summary
As a student of the Arts I am driven by a desire to know and communicate new ideas. This manifests in the workplace as an ability to effectively collaborate with others and a keen eye toward innovation and improvement, whether for myself or for the environment that I'm in. Organised and dependable, I am willing to take on responsibilities and to problem solve with accuracy and reliability. With a background in volunteering I am accustomed to cultivating supportive working environments.
