Skills
Adaptability​
I consider myself a very flexible person that can adapt to a wide range of environments and situations. This skill was really developed when I worked at a restaurant where I was the only native English speaker, everyone else spoke Hebrew. At first it was overwhelming being surrounded by a language that I didn't understand. However, my coworkers and I started using a combination of the English words they knew and the Hebrew words I was learning. We would also meet in the middle and speak in bits of French, German, or any other common ground we could find. This experience showed me that effective communication is dependent on the amount of effort you're willing to put in and that being able to meet people where they are is one of the most valuable skills as a global citizen.
Eagerness​ to Learn
I am always looking for opportunities to learn more and expand my horizons. Whenever I have the offer of new educational or professional experience, I take it. Going into my undergraduate degree I knew I wanted to study abroad and take advantage of the international resources UF has. In my time here, I've studied in two different countries and in two different disciplines. Whether it be school or work, I am always looking for more and will make the most of everything.
Collaboration
As a film major, so much of my work relies heavily on the work of my peers. I have had to learn how to trust the people I'm working with and also establish their trust in myself. My thesis project, for example, is an intense group project that requires the very best of everyone. As the writer and director, it can be hard to put my work into the hands of others. However, I have learned that open communication, establishing expectations, and maintaining healthy working boundaries are the recipe for success in creative collaboration. As I move forward, I know how to implement these and make the most of working with others.
Determination
I am a very self-driven person. I know what I am capable of achieving and I will work hard to reach it. In all facets of life, I encourage myself to reach my full potential. Whether that be as simple as going to office hours so that I understand a class' material better, taking leadership opportunities within campus organisations, or even setting personal goals like getting a faster mile when I'm on a run or reading a certain amount of books every month.
