Summary

I am an positive, reliable and hard-working individual who is looking to grow my experience in the field of communications and media technology along with the knowledge from my business diploma. My vast experience in communicative settings paired with my outgoing and empathetic personality has allowed me to take on challenges in a professional manner through many different roles of responsibility. My experience in working in teams and face-to-face communication has been rewarding as an individual who loves to interact with people and also transfers to my skills presented through post-secondary education and analytical skills regarding social media platforms, brand-awareness, email writing and marketing experience.
