ABOUT ME
Organized - Joyful - Respectful
I constantly seek to learn from everything I do, and I want to impact people’s lives in a socially and ecologically responsible way.
I am an analytical, responsible and friendly person. My strengths are time management, problem solving and the use of technology to convey ideas. I have knowledge in the areas of computer aided manufacturing, photography and image editing. Throughout my life I have gone through several stages of changes: changes of country, city and academic exchange, so I consider myself a fast learner and easily adaptable to challenging situations.
