Summary
I'm an autistic adult who is dedicated and hardworking. Although I have had a number of jobs, some of which ended due to COVID-19 lock downs, I am enthusiastic and put 110 per cent into any job I possess and its tasks. My ultimate goal is to be a writer in the creative field. I have loved all the jobs I have had thus far as they have offered me professional skills while also refining my personal communication skills.

Certification
I don't possess any formal certifications for this job.
Reading, writing, refining foreign language skills, spending time with friends & family, travelling.
As someone who has a degree in English & Cultural Studies; I obviously have an aptitude for reading and writing and always have. Foreign language skills is closely correlated to this. I began learning French as a child which helped me focus my attention on the Italian language. Such skills have been refined with my international travel and have helped me confidently learn a little of other languages of countries I have visited, and learning basic communication of different countries. My family and social life is important, as is my solitude, which I think amplifies my approachable and enthusiastic demeanour in the work place.
