LEONARDO DE LA GARZA JR

Mansfield,TX

Summary

As a student balancing education and work, I have remained as an employee that is searching for the most efficient way to do something, whether I am at a job for several years, or for a couple of months, striving to find solutions to make the task at hand better for the operation, those around me, and I, is my ultimate goal. Learning the ins and outs of a position from those around me who have been employed longer, taking in their opinions, as well what they believe is best, or what may need improvement is an important process. Applying this work ethic to everywhere hired, improvements around me seem to follow. I am constantly looking for opportunities to learn a new skillset and adapt to achieve my full potential to be an asset to a company.
