Summary
I am a striving individual who loves to go above and beyond for my employers. I have always been raised to finish what you started and give a 110% doing it. There is nothing more that I love then learning new things and giving it my all to figure them out. I listen and follow extremely adequately to others or superiors who are giving commands. If there is tough situation, I strive for the best possible outcome there is to solve them. I enjoy the socializing of working with others and coming together to figure out issues and or plans on what to do next. I do to the best of my abilities to avoid mistakes, but if they happened I ALWAYS own up to it and learn from it so that I may never repeat it again. If there is anything that I have been taught so far in my, almost 6 years of working, is that no matter the hardship or the situation, there is a job that needs to be done and done exceptionally well.
