I am a sincere, loyal, and dedicated individual who has a great deal of ambition for Customer Service in any job I've ever had! That title and sense of doing for others all the while building my career is priceless. Most of my work experience come from my college years working my way through school at one of the largest retail giants Bed Bath and Beyond. What a job experience it was! Through them and other avenues of employment noted in my resume I was able to gain extensive experience in the retail industry, security industry, and customer service, as well as data entry in a high profile law firm. All of these fields/industries I believe coincide with the job and task at hand. I love to learn, and am always up for a challenge. I look to make the work place the most productive environment by ensuring that I get along well with others, while also working efficiently on my own or with a team, and at a pace that is beneficial to my skill as well as the employer. I am always respectful of rules and guidelines of the company; I will enact readyness and proficiency in all my work. I am seeking a position where I can develop and excel, while giving my personal best to an employer and the wholeness of the company/program/taskforce.
