Summary

Early in my career I explored opportunities in different fields and companies to see what best fit me for the future. That exploration resulted in some short term employment. Although the time with certain companies were short, I gained a lot of knowledge and skills that can help with life and future employment opportunities. My experiences have lead me here and WorkForce is where I see myself long term.
