Summary
Ambitious writer currently holding a Bachelor's in English. I am well-versed in english grammar and have worked in both retail and production environments for most of my life. I am more than familiar with cooperation and efficiency, and have cooperated with colleagues and coworkers everywhere from warehouses to classrooms. Maintaining a healthy work environment and good rapport with colleagues are my top priorities, and though my work ethic has been honed by my previous positions, I am always looking for ways to improve.
