Summary

I am an Eagle Scout with a passion for technology. Over the course of my scouting and work career, I have picked up skills in communication, problem solving, team building, and leadership. With these skills I am continually finding ways to utilize them to practice and develop them. During my time at State Farm, I have learned how to use tools such as hercules for calls, ecrm for customer management, and necho for viewing and performing policy changes. Along with that, I have started stretching my legs in leadership in my role as a representative in the recent Change Champion Network project that has started
