Additional Information

I am a great communicator and a great listener. When someone asks me to do something I do it with minimal questions. I am easy to talk to and very social which is why many people find it enjoyable to talk to me. I have had experience working before so I know what it is like to be a good employee and the value of showing up to work on time. I was in Boy Scouts, which taught me skills I use daily. It has formed me into a hard worker that is easily able to adapt to problems and unforeseen circumstances.
