I am a highly motivated individual who enjoys sharing that energy with a team to create an uplifting and well paced environment. My enthusiasm for faith and team work enhances the workplace and encourages others to perform at their best. I often take time to spend a few minutes with each co-worker to check on their well being and see if I can lighten their load in any way. I am very dedicated to serving the church and get my soul fueled daily by my work.
