What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dynamic professional with over five years of diverse experience in roles such as waitress and sales. My solid educational background in graphic design and photography complements my practical skills, allowing me to thrive in high-pressure environments while maintaining excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Throughout my career, I have achieved multiple academic accolades and recognition in equestrian events, showcasing my commitment to excellence and passion for learning. I am eager to leverage my creativity and organizational skills in a role as an Aupair, while also focusing on further developing my graphic design competencies.

My adaptability and motivation drive my pursuit of new challenges and growth opportunities, and I am excited about the potential to contribute positively to a team while enhancing my professional skills.
