Summary
In August of '23, while delivering lunches to the local parks, I tore my ACL and broke a small bone in my ankle. I was able to work until January of '24, but I had to have surgery in May. My recovery lasted until I was cleared for work in the late months of '24. I'm hardworking, I'm a quick learner, I'm a people person, but I am efficient on my own as well.
