Summary
I have a passion for working in a team or managing tasks independently. Strong sense of leadership I enjoy actively trying to engage and help one another complete our goals. I have experience working in a team environment and the attentive tasks required in a fastpaced workplace as well as independent freelancing using my knowledge of programming and photoshop for personal creative projects for my peers and I, as well as commissions for people interested in my graphic art designs and assistance with coding. I can run a flexible schedule and work well with other people's planning and have the experience to work long hours whenever needed.
