As part of working to complete my degrees I obtained many different skill
sets. I have learned how to research, analyze, process, and synthesize
data. The projects and assignments that taught those skills also developed
related traits. I have worked in teams, and lead teams to meet deadlines
and goals. Worked with professors, fellow students, and even city officials
to investigate, explore and solve problems.
I have worked in both office and retail settings, and have gained valuable
experience that has helped to shape my understanding of both work
environments. The skill sets gained from both fields are applicable across
the board to meeting the duties, goals, and objectives in any workplace.
