Mauricio Mejia
Sun Valley,CA
Summary
Enthusiastic and willing to take on any task to help organization's mission succeed. Pleasant, hardworking and reliable with great interpersonal skills. Able to give and seek out assistance when needed. A drive to learn from others and learn new skills that can be vital in future career experiences. I volunteered at my local elementary school, working with a 2nd-grade class for a period of three months, and wrote a paper on their social behaviors. Behavioral psychology and human factors were the main focus of my college education to better understand the influences that impact individuals in everyday life. I enjoy helping those I can in any way I can. Considerate of people’s feelings and I’m not quick to judge. I try to assess the situation before jumping to conclusions. One of my greatest accomplishments was being the first to attend and graduate from college in my family.
