PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

Having grown up between Europe and the USA, I have always been interested expression and communication. My aim is to help people and I have done that through teaching, translating, interpreting and tutoring. Communication and language skills have helped me in office settings. Because I am also interested in art, I have worked at art galleries, as a tour guide at a museum, and of New Orleans, and as a theater usher. I have also had jobs in clothing and jewelry retail.
