Summary

I am a hardworking and passionate individual who is eager to learn and try new things! I have strong numerical and analysis skills, as well as a keen attention to detail and nuance through studying both mathematics and history. I am great at time management as I have balanced running, making music, and maintaining top academic performance for much of my life. Needing to be available on call to run doors for various gigs around Glasgow this past year reflects my flexible attitude and willingness to work, and my dedication to my band and its success demonstrates my passion and drive to produce good quality work. These various work experiences have also given me plenty of hands-on training with money and finances, as well as working collaboratively for a common goal. Additionally, moving from America at 18 forced me to learn how to adapt and adjust to changing environments, and reflects my ambitious attitude. I am a very friendly and approachable person, and I am sure I will be a positive addition to the team!
