I am a freelance photographer/artist who has decided that I need a bit more steady income than I have. I would like a position where my communication skills and creativity are utilized, but that can mean many different things, as I am definitely a think-outside-the-box type person. I love learning new skills and tend to pick them up quickly, so I have little fear of tackling new things. A job where I use both sides of my brain is ideal.
