Summary

I have a positive attitude, an outgoing personality and I am strongly result-orientated. I value my work and the opportunity to develop relationships and create value for clients. I am a person who enjoys working both independently and as part of a team. I am flexible and thrive in a changing environment where I can make a difference. From my work experiences, I have developed into a good communicator which I believe is an important skill within interior design. Furthermore, I am a person who enjoys taking the initiative and who focuses on good collaborations and excellent service for the people I work with. I am ready to take on new challenges where I can have the chance to apply my pedagogical, structured, and communicative skills while working closely with clients and colleagues.
