Summary
I've attended several music programs since elementary school (which all taught me discipline and team coordination), I have volunteered (during my senior year) to help gather and organize attendance records in my high school, and I have babysat my little sister through the first year of covid lockdown (babysat her from the morning time till my mom would get back from work in the afternoon, I also assisted her throughout her entire first year of online school). I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Disciplined and motivated to work with willingness to take on added responsibilities in order to meet goals/team goals.
