Summary
Desire to join an organization with upward mobility to demonstrate all the combined experiences I’ve attained since joining the workforce. To also add the bottom line by being responsible, trustworthy, and reliable. Furthering my education is what I am in the process of doing; I would enjoy learning new career functions as well. Communication of the expectations from management as well as my coworkers is very important to me. I have always been very good at working with others as a team. I have been in a few leadership positions that have taught me how to make sure the job gets done while creating a comfortable work environment for my coworkers. I keep my work relationships professional and treat everyone with respect. You can trust that if I am assigned a task, I will complete it in a timely manner. As an employee I feel it is very important to be trustworthy and honest. I practice these skills from the moment I walk in the door until I leave. I have always put others before myself and I am very passionate about helping with any issues. I have no problem getting along with others in the workplace and enjoy an organized environment.
