Ability Summary

The majority of my work experience has been management of personnel to complete a task from hiring to completing the necessary documents throughout the employment. As an entrepreneur, my primary tasks were to ensure that all elements were available to fabricate and /or instruct other laborers regarding the expected custom aspect of the finished product.

Being self-motivated has enabled me to be a self-employed business owner without compromising my desire to be with my family.
