MISSION:
I am an enthusiastic and driven individual, with proven ability to learn any trade. I work well independently as well as part of a team. I enjoy working with people, but also enjoy preparing difficult contracts and negotiations. I would be an asset in any kind of Administrative/business setting. I've prepared legal contracts for attorneys, as well as review and approve contracts for attorneys. I am detailed oriented and have a strong work ethic. I can promise any company that I would be able to perform any part and strengthen any position by working above and beyond the minimum job description. I believe in constant growth. There is always something to do and some way to improve. I do not believe that any position has limitations. I do not accept the answer from my employees of, that isn't my job”. I like to consistently think “outside the box”, and encourage all members of any team to do so as well. Teamwork and insight to look beyond the basic requirements of any “job” are essential to smooth and efficient operations. Opportunities are endless in a team with consistent, courteous, and purposeful communication. Communication is the basis of TEAM. Communication paired with trust, loyalty, hard work, focus, and of course a passion to be the best both as a team and as an individual. The most hardworking and most meticulous workers cannot add enough to the team if they refuse to follow team ethics. “Winning” as an individual employee does not mean the company or team as a whole is “winning”. I can lead a team or follow a team leader. The goal is the same: to provide outstanding service that is above and beyond the competition. I believe this is true in any industry.
