Summary

I am a hard-working and driven individual who isn't afraid to face a challenge. I'm passionate about my work and I know how to get the job done. I would describe myself as an open and honest person who doesn't believe in misleading other people and tries to be fair in everything I do. I'm very communicative, detail-oriented, and versatile. I like to think of myself as a team player. While I don't mind taking on solo projects, I prefer to work with others. I like to think that I'm persistent and persuasive. Working in sales, these traits have served me well. Outside of work, I enjoy taking part in lively debates where I can share my views with others.
