Summary
Starting my working career at 15 in a grocery store, and later serving in the North Dakota Army National Guard, instilled a strong work ethic, discipline, and a deep sense of pride in everything I do. My time in the National Guard further developed my ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams, and adapt to challenging situations. In my current role, I've consistently taken on new responsibilities outside my comfort zone, expanding my knowledge across multiple departments, and demonstrating a commitment to continuous growth and learning.
