Summary

I'm a highly motivated economics student with a hands-on, hardworking attitude, with a strong belief in the benefits of teamwork to enhance productivity. I'm adaptable to various roles and excel in ensuring a high degree of service even under pressure. My commitment to work is demonstrated in my proactive approach, demonstrated by my initiative in participating in a local election, where I dedicated myself to the campaign while managing my education, resulting in a near victory with over 400 local residents trusting me to represent them. I consistently strive to achieve the maximum effort in everything I undertake.
