OBJECTIVE/WORK ETHIC
To become a valuable asset to your Company and assist in attaining Company-wide
goals. I have never felt “a job is just a job”, or that assigned job duties define your limits.
I am motivated to achieve my own self-set goals, along with company-wide goals,
designed to instill a sense of pride in the workplace and set a standard of excellence for
success. I truly believe a positive attitude, dedication, dependability and a desire to go
above and beyond will result in a contagious sense of pride, excellence and success for
all!
