Summary
Passion, accountability, adaptation, and dedication. Having done many different jobs these are the core values I live by. Whether it be mechanical, cyber, or caregiving jobs, I pour myself into learning and adapting into every single job to be able to give the best end result. As a mechanic, and technician, I learnt to read schematics, work on industrial machines, and be safe on the job while creating creative solutions to new problems. As a CNA caregiver, I learnt to collaborate with team members and how to communicate compassionately with people for the best end result.
