JOSHUA D. WATERS
Centerville
Summary
I am seeking gainful employment with a company that will allow me to use the skills I have obtained in an environment where I can grow and learn new skills over time that will benefit both myself and the company.
In my time at my previous work I've grown as a worker and as a person. I have already learned so much, but all that has taught me is how much I still have to learn. I am more than willing to learn and ask questions, for the purpose of continuing to grow.
