Resume:
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my interest in finding remote employment opportunities. With a strong background in digital visual arts, I have spent years building my skill set with multiple creative platforms such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Canva, and Procreate amongst others, creating visual content for social platforms, art for profit, as well as for my online shops. Most recently I have familiarized myself extensively with using AI programs and add-ons to enhance art, and create new art entirely. I am currently an owner of a part-time photography business while staying at home with my three children, ages 11, 10, and 5. In the past couple years, I have juggled my two elementary age children’s full-time digital learning through the pandemic, household responsibilities, my part-time business, and a preschooler. I have come out the other side of this experience with a greater understanding of how to balance and foster the organizational and practical needs of my family, while also fostering the complexities of everyone’s emotional growth-mine included.
I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, with a focus in Creative Photography, and a minor in Art History. During my education I also completed classes in Psychology and Sociology, Child Growth and Development, and Graphic Design. The quality of my education from a university of this caliber has prepared me to handle whatever is asked of me. My proficiency with Adobe software, and my familiarization with new Adobe-beta programs, and my background in visual arts will give me the skillset needed to advance your company.
As an artist, I bring a unique perspective and set of skills to the field of technology. Creativity is at the core of my being, allowing me to approach technical challenges with a fresh and innovative mindset. My ability to think outside the box enables me to devise unconventional solutions, leading to breakthroughs and advancements. Moreover, my attention to detail, honed through years of refining my artistic craft, ensures meticulousness in every aspect of my work. My keen eye for aesthetics and composition translates seamlessly into creating user-friendly interfaces and visually appealing designs. Drawing upon my innate artistic inclinations, I strive to marry form and function in every project I undertake, ultimately enhancing the user's experience. I am acquainted with most of the platforms you considered necessary, and I am willing to dive deeper into them to give myself the proficiency needed, so that I can be a dynamic team member.
Although difficult to articulate in words, the skills acquired through the intricate responsibilities and countless nuances of motherhood have greatly contributed to my ability to excel in various professional roles. Balancing the needs of multiple neurodivergent individuals with vastly different personalities requires empathy, adaptability, and problem solving. This continuous task has honed my multitasking skills and strengthened my ability to prioritize effectively. Moreover, the patience, resilience, and communication skills developed while nurturing and guiding my children have proven invaluable in fostering positive relationships with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. The experience of motherhood has taught me to remain calm under pressure, to think critically and creatively, and to approach challenges with determination and resourcefulness. These intangible skills, gained through the rewarding and complex journey of raising children have prepared me to thrive in any professional setting.
