Communication/ Mediation
ABOUT
Hello there!
I am a young professional seeking to get into advocacy in the realm of Law and Mediation. I have a belief that communication and cooperation can make a stressful matter all the more manageable. Having skills that are practical related to clerical tasks make me confident in an office setting while my interpersonal conflict management abilities shine through negotiation and mediation. I am ready to start my career and hope to find a firm to land for the long term.
SKILLS & EXPERTISE
-
Strong Communication and Interpersonal skills. Having studied it in my current Masters Degree courses along with my past experience working with directors, clients, and coworkers of a range of personalities, I am equipped with knowledge and adaptability to form strong relationships and communicate effectively to resolve problems.
-
Problem-Solving and Creative solutions. Costume design and live performance is all about solving problems on the practical level, and advising on the personal level. I care about resolution, and if we can "Get'er done and make it happen," I always want it to be in the smoothest way possible.
-
Receives Feedback and Constructive Criticism Well. Working in a field that requires external parties other than myself to be satisfied, I have learned to take the opinions and needs of others into account while maintain quality. Thoughts, opinions, and requested changes are welcomed. And we all make mistakes sometimes, I see it as an adjustment rather than criticism.
