Summary

Flexible hard worker ready to learn and contribute to team success. I have learned various skills and things about myself that help prosper as an individual from working over the years. Something can be taken away from all the jobs I work and be applied to my future career. I am well-versed in group projects and taking a leadership position. I am always ready to learn and take on a new challenge and do whatever it takes to get the job done.
