Skills
My passion for the craft and what I do, I really want to put my all into it I'm a stickler for finer details on my work, and want to make something I can be proud of
Working in retail and coming from a family of 5 children(All boys) I feel my patience and ability to keep a cool head has only tempered throughout the years, allowing me to more easily rationalize when situations are tense, or there's team work to be done
I unironically would call myself an empathetic, I feel very deeply for the people I care about and the ones around me, and I want to do what I can to affirm the people around me that they are doing their best and that's what counts
I'm extremely math oriented from multiple nerd tabletop games that have bolstered my capability to handle numbers, and more complex equations
