Summary

I have a strong background in logistics, organization, and creative writing. As a procedure-driven individual, I enjoy work that is structured around a rigid standard of organization, yet allows me to embrace the fluidity of my inventiveness to create new ideas and strategies therein. After working in both independent and team-based fields, I have developed an awareness of the potential of original ideas and the strength of a collaborative mindset.
