About me

I am suitable for a career in advertising, because I am energetic, dynamic, and creative. I am trained in the relevant design programs, but most importantly am able to communicate efficiently and effectively. I am able to promote my work and self when need be. I work very well within a team: I enjoy being able to bounce ideas and thoughts around. I enjoy working in social situations, where one is constantly interacting with and learning from others.

I have a BA Visual Communication degree, which includes the following subjects: Industrial Psychology, Graphic Design, Adobe Design Programs, Illustration, Photography, Art Theory and English. I completed a 3-week internship at Y&R Advertising Agency in Cape Town, where I gained experience in the various fields of advertising. I have contributed to the marketing and curatorial duties of various exhibitions. I served as the deputy-chairlady for my university's surf club (over 400 members), which included organizational and secretarial duties.

I have 6 years of waitressing experience, which includes broad training in wine and food knowledge. I have worked as a wine tasting-assistant, which included training based around cultivars and wine.

My primary career goals are to work my way steadily up the corporate ladder, making a name for myself, and improving myself and my design work along the way. There is always more to learn and I want to gain as much knowledge and experience as I can over the next few years.
