Summary

  • I am a quick and eager learner who is always interested in acquiring new skills.
  • I have a strong focus on kindness and friendliness, both professionally and in my daily life.
  • I am autistic, so may require extra support, but this also gives me a very logical mindset and means I can offer a differing perspective on situations and help with accessibility from personal experience.
  • I am energetic and keen to learn and apply new skills and experiences.
