OBJECTIVE
Currently, I am seeking a PERMENANT career with a reputable business or company. I am searching for
full-time employment in a casual, positive work environment. Willing and ready to learn something new,
I am always up for a challenge and take PRIDE in my work.
INTERESTS
I have a wide variety of interests, but never tire of learning about computers and all the many uses they
can be put to. Medical billing or coding, pharmacy clerk or tech, x-ray or lab tech, would be of great
interest to me because I seek something permanent and the medical field is, not only always thriving, but
very interesting with lots to learn. I have a great passion for animals and the outdoors and would also be
excited to work in a career involving them in some way. However, I never limit myself and would be
very open-minded to learn almost anything.
