Summary
I am an English major university student with strong critical thinking and communication skills. These skills allow me to foster creative and professional environments which benefit all parties involved. My goal is to inspire anyone, anyway, and anywhere that I can... As a bookseller associate, I would combine my passion for reading and writing to provide exemplary customer service, that in turn would cater to my literary knowledge and communication skills.
