Overview
I am a recent University Graduate looking for an entry level position where
I can utilize and hone my excellent customer service skills and superior
time management abilities. Throughout my years at school I have maintained
a high level of academic achievement while participating in competitive
sports, (AAA hockey) or working to help support my post-secondary
education. My years of competitive hockey have taught me the value of team
work and the benefits of diverse skills. I am highly competitive and work
tirelessly to achieve the team's desired outcomes. I can be a valuable
contributor to the Eagle Eye team and look forward to an opportunity that
will serve us both.
