About Me

I am a young ambitious person looking to jump start an interdisciplinary career in all things cultural. As a curious divergent thinker, who appreciates wide ranging new ideas, I have come to describe myself as a 'creative generalist;' someone who embraces an interdisciplinary approach to learning and working. As a result I have pursued and completed my undergraduate degree in Fine Arts Cultural Studies which embraces this interdisciplinary approach within the study of art, technology, and culture. As a creative generalist and interdisciplinary thinker, I strongly feel that I am a flexible asset to any team. Some admirable qualities that I bring to any working environment as a creative and interdisciplinary thinker include my broad knowledge of culture and technology underpinning humanity and life's many interrelationships, the ability to generate creative ideas, to connect the dots and present information succinctly, and my endless curiosity that enables me to ask unasked questions and find new possibilities.
