The allure of the vast world, and the exploration of it, is what pulls at the strings of my soul. All the cultures there are to learn from and be immersed in, all the waters that will kiss my toes at their shorelines, all the sunsets there are to view from the peaks of the mountains I’ve climbed, every towering building in the rushing city streets I may wander down, and all the languages I can try to twist my tongue into speaking– has always lit a fire in me.

HOW CAN I APPEASE MY INTREPID SOUL WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY BUILDING MY CAREER?

No matter where I may find myself in the belly of the planet, my skills, knowledge and experience in content creation will allow me to provide businesses and individuals with professional design services that will grow or strengthen their brands and online presence. Since remote workers and online work opportunities are growing in popularity, I can connect and work with clients and/or colleagues via my laptop, wherever my wild heart may reside in that moment.

SO, WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR IN A STAGE?

I would like to work at a company where employees work closely together to find innovative solutions to growing clients’ businesses through social media, because it is one of the main services I will offer as a freelancer. Therefore, I am looking to sharpen my skills and enhance my knowledge of:

  • Social Media Management & Maintenance
  • Website maintenance
  • UX / UI Design
  • Photo & Video Marketing/Editing
  • Branding
  • Blogging & Writing articles
  • Photography & Photo Editing
  • Copy editing
  • Graphic Design (posters, promotional material etc. for digital use)

WHAT ABOUT AFTER STAGE?

After stage, I will be moving to Ottawa and calling it home. However, I will be available for full-time work as of early June to late August 2019. I am looking to work for a company which allows me to be creative and contribute thoughtful ideas. Bonus if I can work remotely, as shortly after August, I will be travelling and am planning to freelance while I’m away.
