Verbal and Written Communication

Communication

My abilities to utilize, offer, and receive various types of information contributes to my communication skills. Expression of thoughts, emotions, are all part of my communication strategy. I communicate by active listening first, speaking, observing, and then empathizing. I understand the contrasts between face-to-face contacts, phone calls, and digital communications like email and social media and how all can be beneficial to effective communication on and off the job.

Leadership

I strive to be a great motivator and leader by always rendering respect and encouraging and inspiring others with the goal of growing and developing my teammates. I lead from the front and I maintain a positive attitude in the face of adversity and still pull it all together when needed.
