Summary

This is the first time in my adult life I feel like I have experiences to stand on and I hope they speak for themselves.

I am deeply committed to my jobs, bringing passion and energy to my position. Willing to learn and master my technique or craft and understand it further. I take care to learn not just what the job is, but what it could be.
