James Lake

Danbury,CT

Summary

My name is James Lake,


I am twenty-six years old from Danbury Connecticut. I am currently a student obtaining my associates in radiology. Although, I am a bit late to the game in colledge terms; I use this as a way to have a positive outlook. It is never too late to better your future. I believe my customer service skills can be adapted to all areas of work. Understanding all different types of people is something I value. I am team driven, but enjoy problem solving on my own when needed as well .
