PERSONAL STATEMENT I am a professional translator who has been experiencing in Public Relations field and
currently exploring Management. I aim to excel in anything I am involved to better convey
and deliver a successful result to everyone. I am said I have a flamboyant artistic strike
which reveals in my creative production. I have been involved in management of small
groups who have chosen me as their leader, for the natural attitude at mediating and
leading in any situation and context.
I am nonetheless able to work alone and manage time and deadlines.
I believe in a disciplined organization and that everybody - single person or team - achieves
a goal only through focus, belief, endurance, and constancy.
As an artist, I have thoroughly been studying and experiencing as a singer and actress,
nurturing abilities and skills that led me to improve my relation with public.
I am a professional, I have found myself to manage stressful situations and emergencies.
However, I have never lost the ability to relate with whom was subordinated to me. I have
been said I am confident and ironic enough to laugh at absurdities of life and humble to
admit my limits and mistakes, open-minded and ready to learn more and grow.
