Summary

When interacting with coworkers, employers, or anybody, I pride myself on excellent communication and conflict resolution.

I believe most issues that arise can be solved with clear, concise communication and productive feedback. I believe I work well under pressure, as I am able to keep my coworkers calm and focused even when we are under the wire.

I consider myself a highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong worth ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.
