​I thrive on working in high-pressured environments, where I am able to put my multi-tasking skills to use. I enjoy taking initiative and managing new and important projects, as well as working with a team of like-minded individuals.
My previous responsibilities have given me valuable experience in project management and communication. I have learned to juggle multiple tasks at a time in a fast-paced environment, coordinate with different teams, and manage key organizational projects.
