Summary

My qualities and strengths I would hope to emulate and learn upon through gaining accessibility to any future professional position would be an opportunity in which would be extremely desirable. Though my career goals are centered to continuing higher education through law, I hope that for the time being that a newfound position that I would gain more knowledge and work experience through would provide me with access to experience and an overall better professional ethic for a future that is coming for me. Through experience that is versatile, positions that I have had in the past that range from working in sales, through leadership positions, and or even through a congressional casework scope, I hope to use these learned tools to strive for working towards my goals of gaining more knowledge through the science and operation of law.
