Summary

Throughout my professional experience, I have developed a diverse skill set through various roles, including Resident Assistant, Personal Assistant, Social Media Creator, and Caterer. In these positions, I have demonstrated strong leadership, organizational, and communication abilities. As a Resident Assistant, I supported community development and conflict resolution among residents, while my role as a Personal Assistant sharpened my time management and multitasking skills. My work as a Social Media Creator allowed me to express creativity and apply digital strategy to boost engagement, while catering enhanced my ability to perform under pressure and pay close attention to detail. Currently, I am pursuing an associate of sciences in Biotechnology, which is further expanding my analytical thinking, scientific knowledge, and problem-solving capabilities—preparing me to contribute meaningfully in both scientific and interdisciplinary work environments.
