Summary

I am a reliable employee offering strong multitasking, problem-solving and communication skills, as well as strengths in assuring desired outcomes. I have been successful in various positions / roles throughout the years. I am currently on disability and have been for some years which accounts for absent periods in my work history. Since being on disability, I have tried multiple times to return to work at least part time. I have been relatively successful in those attempts but because of continued medical difficulties were unable to continue. Currently I feel that I am on the appropriate regimen to assure continued success working part time. I am confident and ready to provide unique assets that will prove valuable to an employer.
