Summary

Beginning with my professional career in Funeral Service over 30 years ago, I have continuously approached my job responsibilities with the utmost devotion and dedication to my employers, their clients/customers, and the job assignment(s) I've been entrusted to fulfill.

I am extremely punctual, task oriented, and dedicated to productive and efficient time management. I am well versed in communication, following directives, and finding solutions to problems.

I am ambitious, enthusiastic, people oriented, and always eager to learn new things. I am constantly seeking to improve myself and my professional skill set by going the extra mile when needed.

I am a strong proponent of team oriented work ethics, and believe that the goals of my employer can only be achieved through positive interaction and the enthusiasm of my fellow co-workers.
