Summary

I am a motivated, hard-working and diligent individual. Eager to learn, develop and better my skills as well as expand my knowledge whenever the opportunity arises. I am extremely detail oriented and a problem solver, be it past, current or potential issues.


I graduated high school in 2015 and moved to Australia in May of 2016. I am a very family oriented individual who is compassionate and relatable. I am adaptable to any environment and can be my usual quiet self, enthusiastic and energetic as well as serious and professional depending on what the situation calls for while remaining genuine throughout. I am eager to help and contribute to team success, while still more than capable of working autonomously. I have a very strong work ethic and have excellent organizational skills. I am motivated to learn, grow and excel in all areas and industries and be a valuable member of any team while creating the best possible experience for colleagues and clients alike.
