Professional summary
My experience working as a production line worker at P&G as well as my experience at the animal shelter required both impeccable attention to detail as well as constant physical activity for the entire duration of the shift. My experience at Geico gave me dynamic problem solving skills as well as continuous learning and flexibility as the landscape of the business changed. In every work environment, I've learned that people are what either make or break a job. Combined with impeccable customer service (people skills) and a drive to work, I'll be an asset to any work environment. I'm reliable, hard-working, and embrace challenges. I'm highly motivated and a positive influence on my team. I'm always willing to go wherever needed and am always flexible. Employment history
