Summary
I am 21 from Crystal Lake Il. I'm experienced in fast paced work and also proficient in task prioritization and time management. I prefer to work hands on and learn best that way. As a Receiving Associate with Home Depot I learned how to deal with a large workload with difficult tasks along with organization skills that helped me fill out and sort paper work pertaining to our inventory counts and work orders. I've also developed leadership skill that have been fundamental to many parts of my life whether that be sports in my schooling or working with larger groups on projects in my professional life.
