About

I have strong time management, multitasking skills to meet deadlines, and complete any task given quickly. I learn things quickly and pick up on what is needed without being asked, I work hard and well with teams or alone to get the job given completed.
I sketch my ideas and being inspired by nearly everything around me that sparks an idea along with nature and art. I enjoy creative thinking and it is my passion. My long term goals are to become a fashion/art director. My short term goals are to learn and grow as much as I can in the fashion industry where ever my next opportunity may lead.
