Summary

Determined professional with dedication to hard work and team player attitude. I stated my career with Rappahannock Electric as a system meter reader as part of this job we also collected delinquent debts on members accounts, as such we dealt with irate members and had to react to difficult situations daily. As the office supervisor part of my job was to handle members concerns about their accounts in person or by phone in most cases I feel I took care of these issues to the benefit of the members and to the Coop. To close I feel I am a person that can react to any situation with clear thinking and with safety in mind.
