Summary

Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure entry to medium level positions. Ready to help team achieve company goals. Equipped with strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and excellent communication skills. Poised to contribute to team success and achieve positive results. Ready to tackle new challenges and advance organizational objectives with dedication and enthusiasm. Currently learning python. I am familiar with MS Office, AI tools, and more. I create and edit digital art as a hobby, and I enjoy being outside in the sunshine taking in nature. I am fiercely loyal and believe in fairness and equality in the work place. Sadly, but also excitingly, my children no longer require me to be at home as often as they have become more independent with age. I believe now is the perfect time for me to return to work and contribute financially to the household.
