Summary

I am a very organized and detail-oriented professional with strong work ethic and dedication to my employer. I am skilled at developing and maintaining documentation systems, managing calendars and preparing reports. I am self motivated and need little to no supervision to accomplish tasks. I created the 'How to Guide' for purchasing, title work, and off duty details while working for the Sheriff's Office.
