Summary

I am a highly motivated student seeking a part-time job as a service technician as I pursue my Master Technician certification at Portland Community College, which I look forward to leveraging for a career in automative service. I am interested in working on all car types including light-duty diesel trucks and hybrid/EV. In my early employment experiences, I have distinguished myself as a capable colleague and leader of others as illustrated by being given additional responsibilities and leadership positions quickly.
