Summary

I am currently a student at Parkland College pursuing a degree in sociology and later ethnography. I am currently taking automotive classes on top of my required classes for my major. Being a working student has proven to be a difficult yet thrilling task that has bettered me directly in many situations.

I wish to take the extensive and precise skills I currently have to support a company where I can enact my current skills while building useful new skills.
