About

I am a driven, multi-skilled individual who learns fast, is motivated and a great people's person. I've been educated all around the world and grew up overseas. I enjoy working with others and have a passion for learning and developing new skills.

I am keen to expand my horizons and join a team/company that values growth and passion.

Experience

I have studied graphic design, design thinking as well as project management. I attended bible college after school and I've worked in retail, food and bev, hospitality and restaurants, as well as design and branding as a freelancer.

I've been cross trained in multiple departments within Century City Conference Center and Hotel including, restaurant/bar, deli, kitchen, sales, business lounge, housekeeping as well as performing the role of an assistant.

I am not afraid of high stress environments, and I work well under pressure.

I have been part-time freelancing as a graphic and logo designer, as well as branding, website and package design.

I have high numerical and literacy skills, I am extremely familiar with MS software as well as Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, and somewhat InDesign). I grasp things really quickly and if I don't know how to use or do something, I will learn it fast.
