Hi, I’m
Caitlyn Patterson
Woodstock,CT
Summary
One of my biggest assets is my emotional intelligence and the capacity I have to understand and read others. I am persistent, dedicated, and hardworking. I am an excellent problem solver, hand me an “unsolvable” problem and I can almost always provide multiple creative solutions. I put my all into my passions, and problem-solving is one of them. I believe my outstanding grades are due, not to the ability to memorize facts, but to my ability to put the pieces together and to form a conclusion or answer by integrating important psychological information on how people and society works and how people think.
