Summary
I am an individual who anticipates situations and successfully executes any given mission. I
consistently succeed in overcoming challenges, achieving or negotiating mission requirements
with little or no guidance. I am an expert in my job and technical advice / assistance is constantly
sought after by subordinates, peers and seniors alike. I have an inquiring mind which allows me
to easily grasp and apply new concepts, often times uncovering new and innovative techniques in
accomplishing the mission. I clearly and concisely express ideas in both written and verbal
communication. Lastly, I am seldom discouraged given difficult situations or challenging
problems; rather, as a rule, I strive to find the right solution where others might give up.
