A concept that my team and I created collaboratively won the competition and was produced into a widely circulated print and video campaign. SKILLS Professionally, I am motivated and full of initiative. I work well independently while still adhering to guidelines and instructions. I pay great attention to detail even while multitasking and working under pressure in a fast-paced environment. I welcome challenges and opportunities for critical thinking. As an open-minded and amiable individual, I work well with a team, but when necessary, I can focus strictly on my own tasks.

I type at a speed of 80 wpm and have great familiarity with both PC and Mac software, including the Microsoft Office suite.
