A hardworking and driven professional, who demonstrates consistent integrity, reliability, and an exceptional work ethic in the work place. I possess a very broad range of work experience and have gained many skills in several different industries. I am a highly adaptable in the workplace, and have the ability to process and retain massive amounts of information, very quickly. As a result, I am able to learn new skill sets, adapt, and learn very quickly in unfamiliar environments. I am also able to shift my brain power into hyper-concentration mode, which allows me to focus for long periods of time if necessary, in order to successfully complete a heavy workload. I am very driven and self motivated to succeed, and it is a point of pride for me, that I finish all projects and tasks assigned to me, by their deadlines. I have been known to take on extra work and have had to shoulder most of the work weight and responsibility when working in groups, but one thing I really love to do is to take on a leadership role and encourage people to break out of their shells and contribute to the group effort. It is really rewarding to see people open up and finally show off all the potential they have inside them, instead of keeping it all under wraps all the time! My primary focus is to learn and grow and be the best version of me that I can be, and of course to encourage people I work with to do the same! Willing to relocate to: United States - -
