•I am a dependable employee with a strong work ethic and solid attendance record. I have performed routine responsibilities on time by prioritizing, followed through, made good decisions, followed instructions meticulously, helped co-workers, and collaborated as a supportive team member. Also, I understand, interpret, and convey communications with clarity.
