• Clear, friendly, and professional communication skills.
• A collaborative attitude and willingness to work with people across different teams.
• Ability to manage multiple recurring tasks, follow established procedures, and communicate priorities or questions.
• Initiative to recognize when supplies, equipment, or Studio spaces need attention and address or communicate those needs.
• Familiarity with common office technology and equipment, and a willingness to learn new systems.
• Willingness to follow safety procedures and learn how to assist with makerspace equipment and activities.
• Openness to feedback and an interest in developing new skills.
