Personality
I have a good and impressive personality, I can work under pressure and I can communicate well with people at all levels. I am very organized and extremely productive. I am ambitious and very determined in everything I do. I am a creative power house, I love new and fresh ideas, I love coming up with concepts that will improve a brand or company. I am a strategic thinker and I always think about how a service or product can be improved. As I am doing PR, my role is to bridge the gap between an organization and the public therefore everything I do is based on putting both interests first.
