About Me:

Why am I applying in a state I don’t live in you may ask? I am relocating to Florida.

What makes me unique from other applicants? I am very outgoing, friendly, and a hard worker. I am a get in and get things done kind of person and I do delegate if I need to but I won’t ask something of someone I wouldn’t be willing to do myself.

What skills do I have that might benefit your company? I am organized, determined, work with a team or independently, have great rapport building skills, and I function well in crisis situations. I work well in fast pace situations and I have over 18 years’ experience supervising people. I am a good liaison between individuals and the community as well as on a public level. I pay attention to details. I can follow or I can lead.

I would love an opportunity to interview with your company and would not mind coming there to do so. Please consider my resume.
