I recently graduated with a degree in International Business (MA Hons) at the University of Edinburgh. Positive, energetic, and eager to further grow and develop my practical business skills outside of my academic studies. I am very passionate about creative industries, which fundamentally underpins why the majority of my projects focus on modern and cultural development. This has ultimately required me to develop an innovative yet practical mindset when it comes to overcoming today's global challenges. Additionally, I am an articulate communicator, and participated in multiple team projects at a local and international scale (to mention a few; AIESEC conferences, event management, Spanish exchange, coordinating a worldwide music album release, etc). Naturally, this has led me to be a highly organised and effective team player who will create positive peer pressure by challenging other team members to channel their full potential. I thrive off hard work and see this role as a unique opportunity for me to use this previous experience and ultimately, add value to the work in your business.

Formulated minutes of discussions from board meetings effectively and regularly updated action plans for future meetings.
