Summary
I am a creative, highly motivated, self-sufficient individual with a proven ability to learn independently and manage multiple responsibilities. With over five years of experience in self-employment as a filmmaker and photographer (self-taught and independent learning), as well as in customer service, I have become self-disciplined, have a high-stress tolerance and great communication skills. Passionate about lifelong learning and committed to applying real-world experience to academic study, I am seeking to continue my career in the field of psychology, with a goal to pursue counseling and psychotherapy.
