Derrick Wilson
Summary
I realize the importance of a hard working and professional attitude and possess both of the attributes. I can be trusted to complete assignments with supervision and work well as a participative team member and remain willing to learn new procedures. I look forward to joining a school where I can continue to learn, grow, and make an immediate contribution to the Special Education Needs department.
