Summary

I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, reliable, responsible and hard working woman. I am a mature team worker and adaptable to challenging situations. I am able to work well both in a team environment as well as using my own initiative. I am able to work well under pressure and adhere to strict deadlines. I work as a Photographer in my free time and outside of work I spend most of my time with my daughter or out hiking with my cattle dog.
