I am highly self-motivated and results driven team player with international management and project experience in 5 different countries. I have outstanding analytical skills, complimented with strong verbal and written communication ability. I have experience in leadership, team building and coordination capabilities. I am currently the Marketing and Sales coordinator at a Property Management company and I am always looking for new opportunities to grow my career.

I am seriously considering specializing in marketing and project (events) management, as well as graphic design, and keenly interested in acquiring more practical skills in this arena. I have had the opportunity to live in many diverse cities and know the importance of being open to constant changes and adapting to it rapidly. I pride myself in having strong analytical thought but also passionate about relationships and hospitality.

I would work well and thrive in an environment where individual work when put together in a group project brings about a new invention. I am strong willed in my direct project field but always welcome a different perspective to allow more creative thinking to create a unique solution.
