Shirin Asefi
Summary
Motivated, self-starting, and goal-oriented creative with a passion for music. In my previous role, I worked as an admin assistant & creative copywriter for a start-up. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of California, San Diego - recognised as one of the world's top 50 universities. I graduated with Provost Honours and a minor in Spanish. My background has allowed me to hone my organisation, prioritisation, diary management and communication skills. I also have personal experience as a musician and singer/songwriter myself and would love the opportunity to combine my administration skills and passion for music within the music industry.
