Summary

Positive, high energy worker. I love to lead people and be a mentor for them. I have strong communication skills and computer skills. I have taken classes in mental health, written communication, continuous improvement, and leadership. For 7 years I have been leading and training people to meet company goals. Though I love working in manufacturing, after spending time working in an office part time I have come to realize I want to build a career working in an office. I am a quick learner and love to continue to grow wherever I am.
