What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining technical learning and creative work in supportive, collaborative teams where I can grow in software development, UX, and digital content.

I am a software development student with foundations in programming, visual design, and digital illustration, bringing hands-on experience as a virtual assistant and creative support for independent brands. I combine organization, content creation, and basic design to help small teams and entrepreneurs execute projects efficiently.

My practical experience includes remote digital task management, workflow organization, and assisting creative and branding processes. I have supported social media, created visual pieces, and provided administrative coordination to improve operations and presence.

I lived and worked in Berlin as an au pair, which strengthened my intercultural communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills while supporting childcare and language learning in multilingual environments. I have also co-founded and led creative initiatives involving visual concept development, fabric selection, and event coordination.

I hold multiple short courses and certifications in UX, Python, C++, digital environments, and storytelling, and I am pursuing formal technologist studies in software analysis and development. I seek roles where I can integrate technical, creative, visual, and digital skills to contribute to meaningful projects.
