About me
I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography because I am a very visual and creative person. I am very organized and driven. If given a task or job to do I will not stop until it is completed and correctly done. I am dedicated in my attention to detail to make sure my work is the best it can be. I am a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States and I have visited 19 countries and 49 states. I am a self-starter with initiative and great at adapting. I have good time management skills and can enjoy a laugh, but I also know when to get to business. I believe I would make a great addition to your team.
