About Gisela

Hi there! I am a very cheerful, driven and enthusiastic recent graduate of Bachelor of Arts (Media Studies) in 2016 and Bachelor of Communication (Honours) in December 2017. I have a range of interests and experiences, but most of all I am a high achiever who loves to work with various people and businesses and who is always hungry to learn!Work experience

An all-rounder intern, my role entailed assisting the Graduate Program Manager through designing presentations and marketing collateral for the organisation's graduate program.

Some of my skills
  1. Public speaking: the Dimension Data CIO was so impressed by my presentation during a university event that he approached and recruited me to work with them! :)
  2. Leadership: I was a peer mentor at Deakin University for 2 trimesters, helping new students settle in to the university environment.
  3. Working independently and in a team: At Dimension Data, I was given a wide breath of responsibility to do my projects, which often means I would have to work with little supervision. However, I made sure to involve the appropriate people within the organisation, arranging meetings to receive feedback and consulting the key decision makers when making critical decisions. Everyone I worked with loved my attitude and how easy I was to work with, which meant I would receive increasing loads of work - along with responsibility - each time.
  4. Time management and efficiency: Juggling full-time study with work, mentoring, not-for-profit activities while getting Distinctions, having a social life and keeping healthy would be impossible without having great efficiency at everything I do. I believe that it's not about how much you work, it's about how you do the work!
Let's get a little closerAs an Arts graduate, I love hand-lettering, photography and more. Outside of that though you might find me constantly having conversations with friends and strangers alike, going horseriding, admiring other people's dogs, or even hula-hooping! During more normal days though my favourite things to do are cooking and going shopping for vintage items. :) I am always so cheerful and positive that my Honours supervisor told me that I seem to have an 'uncanny knack of positivity' even while doing my thesis full time!
I am always in search of ways to make things better, so I can not wait to meet you in person to find out how I can help make your world or your organization a better place. Cheers!
