Summary
I love to work with others, and have a passion for helping people, whether it is volunteer work or not. An important point to highlight is that I am a goal-oriented and energetic individual who excels at motivating others through enthusiasm and encouragement. I am a hard worker who will follow directions, yet also use my strong leadership abilities to get things done on my own or with a team.
