Summary

I have worked very hard at a young age as you can see and have gained lots of professional knowledge and experience. I am young but I have worked very hard and pushed myself as a young adult to make a living for myself early. I am getting married in the Fall of 2024 so I am looking for somewhere who values the job I do and is willing to let me mess up a few times so I will continue to learn more and more. I want stability and a good connection with a brand I believe in.


- I am prepared to take on any and multiple task and Im ready to learn and work as hard as i have to go reach that goal and better whatever company I work for.
