“I am a very dedicated, hard working and optimistic person. The job will get done and it is with an infectious optimism. My experience abroad for three years living in Singapore, attending the university in Spain, and all the traveling have caused me to make friends easily and adapt to new situations. It has taught me to be resourceful with what I have. Throughout my travels, I have developed appreciation for differences in people and realize that people need to be handled differently and people are different in general. This experience has given me more patience and understanding in dealing with people.” -- Sarah Elizabeth Lowery
