About me

Seeking for further my knowledge and experience in all possible ways. I am quick on my feet and responsive under pressure. I look for opportunities available to enhance my character.
Projects
- It is peculiarhttps://itispeculiar.com/ Using what I learned with previous experiences, I write my blog combining what is unique about me from photography to hobbies and my thoughts in order to inspire other people. Producing content on my blog for a year I learnt how to use WordPress as content managing system, which will enable me to adapt easily to the system used by ProLighting London. In order to promote my blog, I had to get to know the variety of social media and how to manage them, mainly using Hootsuite.
