I am a very personable, outgoing, determined, and
compassionate person. I have a strong sense of urgency
and attention to detail. I take pride in my versatility and
focus, which drives me to be extremely industrious and
quick learning. I am a good listener. I love working with
people and will do any task that is asked of me very
efficiently and to the best of my ability. I equally enjoy
learning and teaching new things. I always strive to
anticipate the most sensible, organized, and resourceful
way to complete and repeat any task. I am also very patient
and cooperative with fellow employees, as well as clients
or guests of whom I am working with.
In my personal time, I enjoy doing any activity that
incorporates my optimism and creativity. I have a strong
passion for the outdoors, as well as robust mathematic and
organizational skills. I am very well acquainted with
Microsoft Office programs, including Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, One Note, and Outlook.
