Hi, I’m

Michelle Tucker

San Diego,CA
Michelle  Tucker

Summary

I am a dedicated person, and when it comes to my passions and the things I care about, whether work related or personal, I strive to give the best version of myself.


When it comes to work, I always strive to conduct myself in a professional manner, and always consider the needs of my fellow team members and cliental when making decisions.

As an ex military spouse, I played a supportive roll for the household and country, while continually pursuing my musical and entrepreneurial endeavors, for 10 years.


My background in work and life points to the narrative of an individual with a resilient and entrepreneurial spirit who is a quick learner, able to pick up her life and establish and reestablish herself at each location she has lived.

As I moved from state to state for the military, I developed skills in Networking, Marketing and Social Media Content Creation for business endeavors and efficiently organized and ran the household at each new location.

I have shown that I have a creative and persistent mind, that can be utilized in many job situations, even if I do not have the exact job experience.

My current life has led me to be on my own and I strongly desire to create freedom and independence in my life.

My life and work experience may not be what you are traditionally looking for, but if you give me the opportunity to show the skills I have learned and to show you the integrity and dedication I have as a person, you will find that I am a solid worker and willing to learn and grow in any area that is new to me.
