As an extremely self-motivated individual I have a lot to offer creatively. My desire to learn and eagerness to take on projects has taught me how to manage many different projects at once in a relatively small timeframe. Being computer literate I catch on to new software quickly, and can troubleshoot my way out of any complications that can be a daily occurrence in the business world.
~*Objective*~----------------------------------------------
To flex my creative muscles while experiencing the many different opportunities in the art/business community.
