SUMMARY
I am a young technologically savvy professional who is eager to start a new career. I have worked with a variety of computer programs but I am most knowledgable in Microsoft Office along with the Adobe Suite. I have worked both in the office and in the field and am not afraid to get my hands dirty if needed. I am very personable and love working as part of a team. I have been taught that if you want something you need to put in the time, that is why I believe if you are early your are on time, and if you are on time you are late.
