SKILLS
I communicate easily with diverse populations being an Asian Jamaican attending Fisk in Nashville, TN; given my 3 years’ experience in Residence Life, as an R.A. and an Asst. Resident Director. I am well fitted for a position which requires human interaction and professional representation, as demonstrated by 2 years among Fisk faculty in independent leadership roles.
