Summary
My name is Kaitlyn Davis, I am 19 years old, I graduated from high school, and I am currently enrolled in college and I am moving forward with that. Although I haven't had a very big variety of different jobs I have worked at, in all of the jobs I have experienced I tend to do a very big variety of activities that help with the expected skills needed for other jobs in the future. Even though I may not know everything, I am always willing to learn new things because that's how we develop knowledge and skill, is by practicing and stepping out of your comfort zone. I am 100% willing to do my absolute best to achieve that goal, plus do my job correctly and efficiently, because I love learning new things and getting my job done, so I will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
