Relevant areas of interest:

I have managed an ongoing Tabletop gaming group since 2013. This has incredibly honed my managerial and communication skills, where I have learned to do things such as sync up and schedule the calendars of 8 different independent working adults. As a result of managing this group I have become more proficient with tools like excel in order to manage large numerical datasets in conjunction with large image libraries. On top of all that it has given me the tool set to communicate thoughtfully and concisely with people of varied backgrounds.
