Background

About Shannon Power

Skills and Achievements Capable with working together with other people to finish a task, as demonstrated by my brief time as a prep cook. Capable of working alone too, took part in an exhibit as art of coursework in December 2018 where I researched a piece from the CSIA Archive who had kindly collaborated with the school and I did a lot of legwork and reading on my own initiative, eventually ending up with a well researched final written piece and an A grade. Goal focused. Willing to work for what I want. IT skills, earned a certificate in web design and development in 2013, am familiar with HTML and CSS. Capable with dealing with special needs individuals. My younger brother is on the more severe end of the autism spectrum and I am used to his behaviour and know how to handle him. Used to dealing with archives and handling fragile historical artefacts from my time interning at Collins Barracks. Familiar with using Excel to catalogue entries. Also familiar with archival software like Atom, Calm, and AdLib. I am trained to deal with archival databases and documents as well as hunting down obscure information and identifying objects if not previously catalogued. Capable with dealing with difficult people from experience with my time as a receptionist, managing difficult customers over the phone. Hobbies I enjoy reading, writing and drawing, having a background in animation before I switched to a more theory based subject. I write short stories for fun and I still paint as a hobby, having been commissioned for work before. I love to visit museums and galleries and just walk around the city and watch in my free time. I am a history buff and I have a mild interest in historical fashion as well and I also enjoy cooking, and I’m interested in animation as a whole with a particular interest in Japanese manga and comic books. I am part of a fan translation group and have a little Japanese as well. I also collect video games and consoles from the late 90’s to the especially obscure interesting titles.
