Summary

Self-motivated and detail-oriented team player with a strong sense of personal responsibility and organizational skills. I can handle multiple projects simultaneously with a high degree of accuracy and swift problem-solving. With a strong foundation in Gender, Cultural, Social, and Feminist theory, along with a minor in Creative Cities, I aim to bridge scholarly knowledge with public awareness, particularly in the realm of Gender Consciousness. My goal is to make learning accessible as to empower marginalized communities.
