Summary
I am a high school student looking for experience and a way to grow my knowledge in communications, broadcast journalism, and tv and film production. I have participated in a multitude of clubs varying from supporting education for young girls in developing countries to learning performance and technical skills in master theater programs. I have a strong work ethic and I am a very quick learner. Time management, organization, self-advocacy, and problem-solving are all strengths for me. Whether working alone or collaborating with others, I enjoy devoting myself to the task and doing everything I can to succeed.
