Summary

I am a driven and ambitious individual ready to build an impactful and rewarding career. As a university graduate I have obtained and fortified the written and communicative skills as well as the research skills necessary to successfully complete the study. I enjoy various organizational pursuits in my work and personal life. Above all, I am dedicated to shaping my career through meaningful work that benefits the community.


Working from a young age, as well as throughout school has fortified my time-management and collaborative skills. I have assumed leadership roles in many group projects as well as in managerial working positions. Working in customer service has strengthened my ability to communicate with clients in a diplomatic and professional manner. As a Page in the public library I work independently and with little supervision while paying close attention detail when cataloguing and shelving library materials.

I am highly adaptable and able to learn quickly and efficiently. I handle difficult situations with ease, prioritizing tasks by a variety of criteria whether it be due date, length of the task, or level of difficulty. While I enjoy problem-solving I am also eager to ask questions for further understanding and clarification as needed. As a goal-oriented individual I am thoroughly and consistently looking to improve myself and my skills.
