Summary
Hello! Argentinian who has been living in Japan since 2019. I speak native Spanish and English and have a Japanese conversational level. Work experiences inside and outside Japan relate to customer service data management and research in natural sciences, including group management, education positions, and creative projects. I am always looking for valuable teamwork and a good working environment. I am innovative and passionate about learning new skills, and I enjoy art in general, from painting to drawing to making scenery for a school play. These past years, working in a preschool allowed me to apply knowledge and artistic skills to make the events, crafts, and school play colorful and bright. After a few years working in the education environment, I am looking to challenge myself, using all skills, from social management to art and education.
