I have some experience at being a critical thinker and an accomplished communicate and want to improve on these skills so that I have wide experience in those skills. However, I would like to improve my programming , filming editing and being able to adapt to work scenarios so that I can work in uncomfortable scenarios easier.

Improving these skills will help the quality of my work and be more presentable. I mainly would like to focus on my team-building skills as that is the most important when working with people and that will happen frequently in the future.
