Functional summary
I am outstanding on my feet and a very quick learner. I adjust to my surroundings
extremely well. Throughout high school, my community and college I have been involved in
many activities that are helping me grow as a leader, as well as teach time management skills.
Being so involved has also taught me people skills. When I am set to a task I achieve it
accurately and with tremendous ease.
