Personal Assistant & Content Manager at Minicy Catom LTD.
Israel
Learning the ropes at my new job. So far so good! I'm having FUN! (now how many people out there can actually say that about their ....job? :))
----------------------------------------
I am a "Jack (or Jill? or Jane? hehe) of all trades" so to speak :)
I've been trained in many fields including social sciences (political science and International Relations), Computers (dot Net and Java), Life Coaching and others.
I Just finished 6 years working as the deputy Senate Secretary at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (http://www.technion.ac.il) and I am currently in a transition to a new position with the Internet company Minicy Catom (http://www.catom.com), as a content management and Personal Assistant.
I also do private work in translations (Hebrew - English), teaching English, writing and edting (web contents, academic papers etc.) and, now that I've finished my Life coaching training I am also coaching.
I have a passion for knowledge and I am an 'info-holic". I am reading about everything and anything and if I hear something I didn't know about before I make sure it doesn't stay that way :D
I am a book worm, I like to write poetry and paint and I am a cat nut - I have 3 and hoping for more!
I have a passion and gift for languages so I currently know 5 of them: Hebrew, English, Romanian, Arabic and Dutch. I want to learn Esperanto, Italian, Spanish and Japanese too :)
That's about it (there is more to me but I guess you'll just have to connect with me and find out yourself :P or look at one of my websites:
