Skills

My greatest strength is the ability to learn new skills and achieve proficiency quickly. I work well in groups and excel on my own. I’m a self-starter, able to make quick decisions, and I know when to ask for help. I’ve designed, managed, and built websites in Wordpress, Squarespace, and Shopify. I have a working understanding of the Adobe Creative Suite, digital photography, social media marketing, and HTML.

Additionally, I’ve written two novels.
