Skills

My computer skills are extensive and I can work with almost any program, operating system, or network within the shortest period of time at a high level of expertise. My programming skills include PHP, Wiki and I work with Moodle.

I have good knowledge on intercultural communication, team management, employing synergistic principles, creativity techniques, pedagogic, didactics, NLP, meditation and psychology.

Miscellaneous

I have focused on teaching, media and the entertainmen industry, on movies, tv series, the development of the Internet, psychology and computers because this is where I can employ my creativity, talents and skills, as well as my broad knowledge to my employer's greatest benefit. 

I am able to familiarize myself with any subject within a short period of time and I can use this knowledge with focus on detail and  comprehensive overall knowledge.

My organizational, rhetorical and motivational skills have helped all the teams that I've had the honor to work with to work at peak synergistic performance.

I can see myself working in any job that enables me to work creatively, which gives me room for career advancements and also a high level of responsibility.
