What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in IT while utilizing my customer service skills.

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic individual with a background in Visual Effects, having recently relocated to Poland with a passion for transitioning into the dynamic realms of IT, customer service, and office administration. Armed with a solid foundation in technology and a keen eye for detail honed through my studies, I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to new challenges.

My journey into Visual Effects has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including proficiency in software applications such as Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk Maya, and Nuke, as well as a strong understanding of digital rendering and animation techniques. These technical competencies, coupled with my creative flair and problem-solving abilities, have laid a robust foundation for me to embark on a career path where I can contribute effectively to various domains within the IT sector.

Moreover, my experiences have instilled in me a commitment to delivering exceptional customer service and fostering positive relationships with clients and colleagues alike. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where adaptability and communication skills are paramount, and I am eager to leverage these qualities in roles that require interaction with diverse stakeholders.
