Summary

Creative w/Legal Experience


As a trained actor (3years) with over 4 years of extensive managerial and administrative experience, I would be adept at supporting the team at 'Five Poets'.


Due to this experience, I am confident in forming people-relations, I am passionate about the role of the Arts in society and adept at a multitude of tech resources from spreadsheets to Adobe.

My journey into the arts was long and unconventional which makes me both professionally resilient, committed and self-motivated. This is evidenced by my award of the Sarah Evans Prize for Perseverance.


This is simply a glimpse of my capabilities and achievements. I hope to hear from you soon so I am able to apply myself to the Production & Operations Assistant role at Five Poets.


Yours Sincerely,

Karen Kisakye
