CAREER OBJECTIVE
I will be relocating to the Little Rock area in August and I am looking for a career that allows me to play into my strengths, break out of the mold, and truly excel. My strong orientation gives me an optimistic nature allowing me to unfold into an “outside of the box thinker.” I enjoy being challenged and gaining rewards from my success both professionally and personally. I look to be able to take on new knowledge that will help me grow professionally in years to come.
