Sean Skinnard
I am seeking to challenge myself, gain skills that will improve my quality of life, and earn enough money to pay for a house for my girlfriend and I. My leadership experience and attention to detail will contribute to team success. My leadership experience most notably includes giving tasks to the 15 members of my Pilgrim-History Club to collect my high school's history and preserve it on a website. My attention to detail is evident not only in my particularity about the organization of my high school's history on that website, but also in my analysis of both modern and historical texts that allowed me to win Rhode Island History Day and score perfect 5s on all four of my AP exams that were humanities-based.
