Summary

I am currently in the final semester of completing a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a double major in Philosophy and Political Studies. My quest now is to find a meaningful employment opportunity where my values align with the company's ethos and the work it entails. I am ideally looking to secure a position for the long-term as I value commitment and fostering relationships.

A little bit about me- in my recreational hours I enjoy listening to podcasts and reading books on topics related to health, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and politics. I also practice yoga, pilates and meditation.
