Summary
Confident and adaptable problem-solver with a talent for turning chaos into clean results. I bring strong analytical ability, sharp critical thinking, and the kind of computer literacy that doesn’t require Googling “how to open Excel.” Skilled in data handling, writing, basic IT troubleshooting, and photo editing, with enough leadership and emotional control to keep a team functional even when everyone else is losing their minds. I learn fast, communicate clearly, and don’t shy away from responsibility — because doing things properly the first time is easier than fixing everyone’s mistakes later. Looking for a role where competence is actually appreciated.
