Summary

I have been a conscientious university and museum team member with a history of success in readying exhibitions and preparing artifacts for display. Systematical inspection, classification and restoration are key in my skill sets as well as being a talented and creative multitasker with an organized approach and excellent time management abilities. Working in academia and secular arenas has given a unique perspective in creative fields as well as event coordination. Dedicated Art and Music industry professionalism and a deeply rooted care of craftsmanship and aesthetics are among the assets brought to every project. I maintain a reputation of meeting expected goals and utilizing consistent and organized practices. Skilled in working under pressure and adapting to new situations contributes to being a positive member to the teams I have the pleasure of working with.
