Affiliations
- I am a family oriented person. Even though we are a small family, I love and support them tremendously. When I am at work, I treat my co-workers with dignity and respect, as well as my supervisor(s). I feel that if there is no communication whether good or bad, then the workplace will not be able to function as a whole. Everyone in that organization needs to communicate at every level. Communication, hard work, diligence and respect on everyone's part, I believe is the key to success for EVERYONE!
