Experience and skills

As an author I am disciplined, consistent and creative. Through my writing I have improved the way I interpret and assimilate my environment, which has proven to be an invaluable skill in any job I do.

My bilingual upbringing and word travels have given the ability to adapt quickly and be open to change and challenges.

Each of my job experiences have given me a varied set of skills which include the ability to manage, administer, teach, learn quickly and work both independently and in a team.
