SUMMARY

Being in constant contact with clients helped me to be a better listener. I learned to set goals and reach them. People like me for my style and performance. I hope to continue to offer all of my skills, work experience and education knowledge to my new work area ambience. I work well by myself, with very little supervision; as well as working in a team. I worked at a Call Center some years ago as well as a waiter in restaurants and retail stores which also improved my people skills.

I am fully bilingual English/Spanish
