Summary

I am a highly passionate and initiative person, having the forsight to assess what needs to be done and seeing it through. While I have the inner drive for self independency, I also understand the importance of being a team player; maintaining a positive attitude, having clear communication, being flexible, and holding myself accountable all in the spectrum of understanding my role. I am a good listener; giving people time to speak, paying close attention to what is being said and clarifying if need be is crucial in finding common ground together. Being able to look at a situation from all angles and coming up with the best solution is where my creativity comes into play. I am very goal oriented and in that I have the skill to adapt and adjust to new conditions readily.

Hobbies

While I enjoy many things in life, I thoroughly enjoy the art of entertainment (movies and music). I grew up watching old movies where I could explore the world of mysteries, drama, film nior, suspense, the classics, and musicals. Having said that, music is a passion of mine, as well and as such offers the listener the freedom to connect with the full interpretation of its meaning. As far as reading is concerned, I have a very curious nature about me and I am always interested in learning about new things; be it life, subjects and or world affairs. Getting outdoors and taking walks to clear my mind or just simply enjoy a beautiful day is something that just has to be done from time to time. Last but not least, spending time with friends and family is the only way to grow and nurture any meaningful relationship(s).
