I am a team oriented employee. I had served in the United States Army for four years from 07-1979 to 07-1983 as a personnel records specialist leaving as a Specialist 4 promotable. I believe in the military as well as in business working as a team is the best way to get the job done. When everyone is involved the team gets the job done proficiently and is more effective.
I have used these skills when I was working with the Relay for Life in Baltimore County, MD for 3 years and Special Olympics in Rochester, NY for 2 years. These are some of most proud accomplishments.
