Summary

As a poised, ambitious, and highly adaptable professional, I bring a breadth of experience across five diverse roles—including Personal Assistant to an equestrian estate owner, environmental educator, swim instructor, retail associate, and bakery attendant. Naturally calm under pressure and exceptionally skilled in scheduling, logistics, and time management, I offer a grounded, positive presence in fast-paced, high-profile environments. With a passion for wellness, travel, and adventure, I thrive in roles that demand professionalism, flexibility, and trust. Deeply inspired by the natural world, I have a keen eye for videography, a strong passion for conservation, and I am dedicated to supporting individuals whose work aligns with creativity, exploration, and purpose.
