Summary
I have a motivation to make sure things are done the right way the first time. I can adapt to most situations as long as the start point, the end point and base guide lines are in place for me to work off of. I can notice when something doesn't seem right and if I have the knowledge I will do my best to fix it or ask the questions I need to so that everything is done correctly.
