SHEILA  EVANS

SHEILA EVANS

North Bend,WA

Summary

My name is Sheila Evans and I am looking for a company that I can invest my time and skills in. I strongly believe people are more than just their jobs, but we do spend the majority of our time working and I want to invest in a career that I find fulfillment and purpose in. I may not have all the techniques and skills required for a certain task, but I believe I bring characteristic traits that are harder to teach. I consider myself to be an apt learner, quick to pick up and adapt to new skills and environments. I am comfortable working on my own timeline or within group tasks and collaborating together. Many coworkers would describe me as dedicated, loyal, and easy-going.
