Summary

I very much enjoy learning and growing in character, experiences, and skills while simultaneously offering value to those around me (employers or otherwise).


What I bring to the table is a measure of experience in areas such as:

navigating social dynamics, creative planning, attention to detail, ability to teach and lead (in areas of competence), physical labor, professional cleaning skills, caregiving and oversight, etc.


I am seeking to be a solid contributor and asset in a mutually beneficial working arrangement!
