About Me
I am strong, independent but seeking adventure and a challenge.
Currently I work for David Copperfield as a Executive Assistant. I have a legal background as an assistant which has taught me an attention to detail. I also have a background in the service industry. This has prepared me for the challenges with coordinating and managing events involving a variety of people in all walks of life. I believe that my interpersonal skills are one of my greatest assets in communicating effectively to others. .
My personal objectives in life are to contribute to this world in a positive way. To explore the good in people. Extinguish laziness and to motivate others to do the same.
