LEA SHUTTLESWORTH

Woodbridge

Summary

I’m currently a sophomore at Howard University, actively seeking a summer opportunity where I can continue building skills that support my long-term goal of pursuing a career in the medical field. With hands-on experience volunteering in elementary schools and working in customer service, I’ve developed a strong foundation in communication, patience, and teamwork. I enjoy interacting with people from all backgrounds and take pride in being dependable, empathetic, and driven. Whether I’m helping young students learn or assisting customers in a fast-paced environment, I bring energy, compassion, and a problem-solving mindset to everything I do. I’m eager to apply these strengths in a professional setting this summer and continue growing as a future healthcare provider.

Equipped with strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and excellent communication skills. Poised to contribute to team success and achieve positive results. Ready to tackle new challenges and advance organizational objectives with dedication and enthusiasm.
