Summary
I am a very goal oriented and results driven person. I believe in teamwork and think it is vital in accomplishing the task at hand. From a management standpoint, I believe in leading by example and believe in acknowledging accomplishments as well as constructive criticisms. Appreciated team members will want to thrive and be more productive as well as mentor less experienced team members. I have many years of experience and I believe that it is important that I worked my way up from entry level to fully understand all aspects of the business. I look forward to hopefully joining your team and starting a new career.
