Ashley Pearson

My peers would describe me as hard-working, enthusiastic, detail-oriented, supportive, and compassionate. I will brighten the workplace with my positivity, bubbliness, and ever-present smile. I would wholeheartedly consider myself an asset to your team because one of my strengths is my personable demeanor, and I am able to navigate interpersonal relationships well. I tend to take on a leadership role wherever I go, and will never fail to make myself useful.
