Leadership Experience

I served in a handful of Leadership positions in my church as well as being a captain of my high school soccer team. My position at FedEx also requires that I make decisive and important decisions that can affect the people I work with locally and potentially  at other airports. I also train new employees with hands on work. I love working with people and learning about what they are enthusiastic about. I believe building personal relationships and trust are key to being a successful team.
