Summary

I am a hard worker who is looking to continue growing and learning. I am very confident when given a task, but also know when to ask for assistance. I fully understand working as a team, not just an individual to reach goals. I have done a wide variety of projects in and outside of work, and will always be eager to gain more knowledge. I have mostly all of the tools necessary for the work I do, and am willing to further invest in the ones I do not have yet. I am respectful of equipment, machines, customers, employees, and the area around me
