PERSONA HISTORY
Niko is a 15th Century Greek Archer from the island of Crete. He could not find work on the island, so he took a merchant ship to Venice. There he began to learn the art of the rapier. After winning some notoriety as an archer, he was hired by the Medici family. His last job was to hunt down their wayward daughter, Cecilia Medici, and bring her back. He caught up with her in Persia, but she captured him. Even though she was a skilled assassin, she spared his life.

 

NON-SCA SKILLS
Leadership/Organization– From the age of eleven until twenty-five I worked at a summer day camp. I started as Jr. Counselor and worked my way up to camp director. As a director, I supervised 16-18 teen counselors each summer as well as organized ten weeks of camp activities for up to 150 campers. During that time, I learned to work with a diverse group of people and delegate many tasks and responsibilities.

Public Speaking- I have been a Sign Language Interpreter for twenty years. Most of my assignments were interpreting in front of 30 to 200 people. I am comfortable and highly experienced addressing crowds of people.

Improvisation/Initiative– With both my careers, improvising and taking the initiative are key to success. Things go wrong all the time when working with so many kids or deaf clients in so many situations. When problems arise, I can make quick decisions. I am comfortable acting when something needs to be done, even when no one else acts.
