Summary

A personable, organized, customer-focused young person, with a 'big picture' mindset, I am also detail-oriented and able to learn new tasks quickly and effectively. I am a self-motivated individual who can operate very effectively as a team player. Extremely focused, I am dedicated and hard-working; I believe this is evident in my extracurricular resume, specifically in my commitment to music, which I established and excelled at alongside establishing my excellent academic record.
