My name is Vanda , I'm 26 years old and I'm originally from Lisbon, Portugal.
I have studied until my Secondary Levels in Visual Arts (in Portugal) and proceeded with a Graphic Design course on a private Arts School in central Lisbon. Given the high values on the fees, I had to stop mid-way on the course and embark on professional options, two of them being paid internships in a Communication Design and Administration/Events related companies. After that I went on trying a new side of Arts and enrolled on a professional course involving Multimedia and Programming which I did finish. Afterwards I was given a work experience in a starting magazine in London and I've decided to give that opportunity a chance; after the period of work experience was done I have had a short, yet relevant, experience at the St. Martins Hotel in London as well, this last one balanced out with an Au Pair job opportunity given. I have taken care of my younger cousins as well as friends kids, so I am completely comfortable around them, and the more bubbly they are the more I enjoy the time spent with them. In this previously mentioned Au Pair job, I looked after a 12 year old boy, and I would prepare his breakfast, walk him to school and occasionally help with his homework whenever needed. Later on, I went back to Portugal, had a pause and decided to, then, enrol on an university in Scotland (Perth College) and so far I'm enjoying the experience and everything around it.
In terms of personality and characteristics, I am a very smiley person by nature, like to communicate (though in the bare beginning I may come across as a bit shy), extremely responsible as well as punctual. Alongside this, I am organised, calm, patient and am always willinng to help out, even if not asked to. :)
