Martinsburg

Summary

My name is Lauren Kosydar and I have worked for the government, here at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Martinsburg for 4 years on the nightshift. I am here to help the veterans and do the best job I can do. I am a very easy going and flexible individual who always keeps it professional. I do have my Associate’s Degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences and I am working towards my Bachelor’s Degree as well.

I am also very tech savvy and a quick learner if there is something I am not familiar with.

I would be honored for the privilege of working with you.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Lauren Kosydar
