Work history
    Gallery Intern
    I will be assisting with various tasks necessary to run a gallery from day-to-day, including but not limited to: researching prospective artists for the gallery to acquire; researching newly acquired works; writing artist biographies and content for website/published materials; lending a helping hand to transport and hang art work; reorganising the gallery mailing list; editing the website when necessary.
    International Mobilisation Specialist
     - 
    I deployed linguistic personnel to culturally diverse locations world-wide, including areas with austere living conditions. I coordinated travel itineraries for all deploying personnel, many of which we received no more than 48 hours notice for. Additionally, I responsibly managed a deployment budget of $1 million and saved the company 12% of travel-related costs in the year I was employed with them. In order to accomplish this, I negotiated with hotels and airlines to secure cost-effective travel arrangements while still ensuring comfort and convenience for traveling personnel. I gained deep knowledge of Work Permit requirements in Germany and worked closely with the management there to write a continuity book detailing the procedures for deploying personnel to Germany.
