Summary

Dependable, Loyal long term contract worker not known to shift from one location to another or from one employer to another. Great team player with a high understanding of leadership, works well with others, and selfless, forward thinker, someone who looks to find solutions that last and go on for years and not short term solutions that bring minimum results and only hide or cover problems that need to be addressed. I'm the type of person who constantly ask what can I do to make a difference and not what can you do for me I strive to be part of the solution and not the source of the problem or part of the problem.
