Summary

Adept at transforming challenges into solutions, I leveraged my data entry expertise and relationship-building at Madison Earth Care to enhance operational efficiency and foster client loyalty. I’m willing to learn new skills, have become familiar with terminology used in the field, but most importantly love to work for a company who treats employees professionally- but like family. I love building positive relationships with clients. I am proud of being the “go to” person knowing I can help anyone in the company with a task or project.
