Summary

I am a student here in Brussels looking for a job alongside my university studies. I am timely, organized and disciplined and believe any workplace would benefit from my help. The following is a summary of the skills I have acquired over the years:


Versatile and results-driven professional with a proven track record in landscape maintenance and interior renovation, notably with Reykjavíkurborg. Past work has included the preservation of plant health and enhancing landscape aesthetics through organic practices and innovative design. But along with my work at Hverfisgalleri I have demonstrated strong client communication, heavy equipment operation skills and achieved significant improvements in project efficiency and customer satisfaction. Furthermore through my university studies in philosophy I have acquired the ability to engage in productive discussions which may translate both to dealing with customers and fellow employees.
