Summary
I'm a flexible hard worker ready to learn and contribute to team success. I pride myself on my ability to learn and adapt to challenges and on my social skills to get along with and work efficiently with anyone I meet. Growing up, my father had two words for me to adhere to on anything I do- "Be Thorough". I aspire to live up to this phrase in everything I do and to get the job done right the first time.
