Personal Note
I began working at the age of 17 as a “Girl Friday” in a one-person office. I do not believe in the saying, “That’s not my job”. When working I believe, “see a need, meet the need”. I would never expect anyone to do a job that I was not willing to do myself. I strive for harmonious relationships with peers, customers, and other personalities. I am a responsible employee, able to work alone and not require constant supervision. I am in very good physical and mental health. I am a positive person, energetic, and readily adapt in diverse situations.
