Summary

Looking to change directions from my current management career and look for a long-term career more aligned with my personality. I desire a position that has clear expectations of me and an almost repetitive day to day workload.

I excel most when I have structure. Data entry has caught my attention more than any other position as it sounds perfect for what I look for in a job. I am detail-oriented, organized, and always strive to be top performer in any position I have.
