Summary

I have experience in a variety of work settings varying from dental offices, to childcare facilities, to restaurants. A similarity between them has been becoming adaptive to the setting and multitasking in fast paced environments. Working individually and in a team setting while using clear and effective communication. The positions I have had have helped me understand the importance of good work ethic and what it says of me as an individual.
