Mackenzie Flanagan
San Diego,CA
Summary
In 2021, I moved from St. Louis, MO to pursue a year of traveling throughout the U.S. That year ended up turning into two years, but I have more recently decided to settle down and look for work in the San Diego area. I am a dedicated and strong employee, and I have a well-rounded background in a variety of different employment fields. I pride myself in my strong ability to problem solve, work well with others, and complete tasks quickly and efficiently. I am detail oriented, a quick learner, and practical in my work ethic. Though I am a strategic planner, I am also able to quickly adjust to situations and maintain a 'go-with-the-flow' mentality.
