Summary

I am a very skilled and dedicated worker, highly motivated to do any job that is required of me, I am also eager and willing to learn new things, and I always enjoy learning new skills. I have worked in all conditions from blistering heat and humidity, to freezing cold; I can work all day in the sun or inside whatever is necessary for the job. Every job position I have been given the opportunity to attain, I have made myself a top employee through determination and the amount of effort I will provide, as well as my willingness to ask for help when I am unsure of things. Just like many other jobs I have had I am a trusted team member and employee to the extent that not only do other employees come to me for advice on problem solving and resolution but so do supervisors.
