Summary
A versatile professional with experience in music, care, education, hospitality, and landscaping, I bring strong communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. With over seven years in the music industry and a background in music business from BIMM Institute, I have honed my expertise in performance, branding, and management. My care work experience has deepened my empathy and sparked my interest in psychology and music therapy, while voluntary teaching has strengthened my leadership abilities. Passionate about continuous learning, I thrive in dynamic environments and seek opportunities that combine creativity, well-being, and human connection.
