Summary

My direct experience as an RA combined with my aptitude for learning will allow me to hit the ground running in this position. I have developed exceptional communication skills, professionalism, and tenacity which will further allow me to excel in this position.


As a construction worker I learned to maintain focus and effective communication through a plethora of distraction. Through my professional experience I have become adept at conceptualizing projects or ideas and working through obstacles to translate their vision to reality. Through lifeguarding, athletic supervising, and event planning I have learned to overcome adversity and have gained confidence and poise in situations where it presents itself. Founding and running my own company demonstrates my aptitude for sustained hard work with no external motivators.
