I consider myself a young, creative, cheerful, determined, and extremely empathetic individual, with a talent for calming and balancing those around me. I enjoy working in teams and deeply believe in collaborative and integrative work towards a common goal, as well as in the co-creation of innovative projects. My greatest interest is art: the art of caring, understanding the human being, the art of barrier-free expression; the art of emotional expression. I seek a professional path that creatively stimulates me and allows me to further develop as a human being.
