Bio: My passion is to provide support and fulfill a vision efficiently. I enjoy the discomfort of what is unknown. I am driven
towards challenges that help me continue to possess exceptional communication and technological skills, all while making
memories along the way. Holding a BA in Performing Arts from the University of East London, I am known to take jumps that
some others might shy away from. I am hard working, reliable, and I am a team leader. My objective is to obtain a position that enables me to demonstrate my ability to maintain a high level of productivity, accuracy and efficiency in a fast-paced and demanding team environment.
