Summary
I go by Gavin and am a people person. Always enjoy meeting new people and working with others. My first job was cooking and cleaning in a kitchen at the age of 16 in 10th grade. I have worked for several different companies throughout High School and College. I have been trusted to train many employees, manage staff when other management is away, and order supplies for the companies. During myJunior year and Senior year of high school, I ran a radio show that was owned and distributed through my high school. I provided new music each week and contacted people for interviews to play on my show. After high school I attended Macomb Community College to complete my Associates degree and then transferred to Wayne State University for my Bachelors.
