Summary

During my time in the Air Force, I prided myself on both teamwork and work ethic. I also learned invaluable professional and life skills. During my time as a student and as an Operations Supervisor at FedEx I have put those skills and lessons to use, while actively attempting to grow and diversify my skillset. I pursue perfection, by perfecting my effort, and I aim to be versatile, forward-thinking, and team oriented. I want to always be considering my next move, while also fielding input from my team members.
