I am a hard, dedicated worker who can pick up anything if trained properly. I am intelligent and comfortable

interacting with people and I get along with everyone. I have great customer service skills. I can multitask and

I enjoy doing multiple tasks at the same time. I love a fast paced environment, but I would be comfortable in

any environment. I have had some experience leading people and delegating orders. I show everyone I meet

respect and no matter what happened in a previous job the manager and co-workers will all say that I worked

hard and made their jobs easier.
