Summary and Objectives-
I am a looking for a career that I can stay at for a lifetime. The glass is always full to me; your live
can be weighted down by a negative attitude. I want to bring my positive attitude and make a difference
within the place I work at. I love making a difference in peoples’ lives, whether that difference is indirect
with research or direct with making that client pleased. It is the little differences that make the job well
done or a client happy. I believe anything can be achieved if you work hard enough, and stay positive.
