Morgan Manikowski
Summary
I play over 5 instruments and I am quick to learn. In high school I maintained high honor roll, while also working at a physical therapy clinic everyday. I am extremely outgoing and my energy changes the room, I have had patients cry to me over personal issues while in the workplace. I can create a sense of family with anyone through my love of music, animals, and work. People go out of their way to compliment me on my work ethic, and often times I would be running around the clinic taking care of 3 patients at one time. I can go to any concert for free at Joliet Forge in Illinois because of my people skills. I am an extremely good worker, and never applied for a job, I have only been offered them. I was offered my job in the physical therapy clinic while doing rehab for my knee, and was offered a nanny position, for going above and beyond even when there is no reward.
