Summary

I do a particularly good job of maintaining a cordial work environment between my employees. I found that most people I've worked with have treated me with the same respect I've shown them, and when they don't they usually give up when they realize they cannot elicit a emotional response from me. Between my years working special ed, and my brief time with peer support, I am particularly skilled at deescalating tense situations between people. I also have several years of experience working in food services, and am current on my food handlers card. Though it will not apply to this particular job. I am also CPR and first aid certified
