What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow, utilize my skills, and contribute positively to a team.

I am a hardworking and punctual individual who thrives in organized environments. My experiences range from tutoring students in computer science and basic computer skills to providing exceptional customer service in retail. I take pride in my ability to listen and learn quickly, ensuring that I deliver the best results in every task I undertake.

Currently, I am pursuing a Diploma in Tourism Management while working as a freelance photographer and editor. My photography work includes capturing nature, infrastructure, and events, along with editing and creating promotional materials for clients. I believe in the importance of creativity and attention to detail, which I apply in both my photography and my tutoring sessions.

As I continue to grow professionally, I am eager to embrace opportunities that allow me to utilize my skills in customer service, education, and creative design. I am committed to making a positive impact in every role I take on.
