Personal Strengths

I can adapt to retail and wholesale environments; am a self-starter capable

of completing tasks alone, or working as a team player when ideas need

collective input and job completion within set timeframe; I am passionate

about teaching, guiding students or employees to maximize their

understanding and appreciation of an assignment or project; combine humor,

immediacy, speed and enjoyment of any agenda; Learning, staying abreast of

what's current, and sharing that with co-faculty, students, clients and

workers is a driving force.
