SOFT SKILLS
I’m a great communicator, have proof to be very adaptable to my environment and constant changing circumstances, I’m known to be empathetic, very compassionate, and I’m a great team player. I’m passionate about what I choose to do and dedicated to learn and grow.
HOBBIES
I love everything outdoors - hiking, backpacking, surfing, snowboarding, camping, and biking. I’m a creative - interested photography, knitting, and do some little seasonal arts and crafts here and there. I would say I have a lot of hobbies, yet I’m mostly found near my friends and family.
