Summary

I am an 18-year-old international student from Australia currently studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I am majoring in Business of Beauty and Fragrance with a minor in Acting. Having recently graduated from boarding school, I am independent, a quick learner, and eager to make the most of my time by seeking job opportunities in any area that will allow me to expand my skills, gain valuable hands-on experience, and contribute to something much bigger than myself. With a strong interest in the creative field, I excel at communicating with people, enjoy collaborating as part of a team, and thrive in fast-paced environments where efficiency and high standards are key. I am enthusiastic, reliable, and adaptable, ready to bring energy, professionalism, and dedication to any role while continuing to grow both personally and professionally.
