Summary
I am a hard-working recent college graduate (EMT Certification) from Delaware County community college. During the course of my academic career, I also managed to accrue neatly 6 years of work experience. I had the privilege of working for Pet Smart in a Pet care associate role in my free time, where I learned valuable professional skills such as customer needs assessment, customer communications, and conflict resolution, In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as efficient by my professors and peers. Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven communication, leadership, and multitasking skills, which I hope to leverage into the EMT at your company.
