Summary
I'm disciplined, and willing to learn. I value my work ethic, which has instilled in me a sense of determination toward any goal. I seek an opportunity that will allow me to grow my social skill set and include me in great collaborations. I'm a hard worker, but I'm also a critical thinker who will always contribute at any chance. I feel confident in this based on my prior experience as a martial arts instructor, teaching people of all ages and backgrounds. I love working toward a common goal as much as I love being precise about the quality of my work.
