Summary

I would love to find a job that I love and make it my career! To enjoy what I do and to be able to say I love my job.

I have worked in the automotive and motorcycle industry for years. My father raised me as a single parent so I was always there to help him and work on everything. I'm very hands on and quick at learning new things. I have great customer service and people skills, very good with defusing a disgruntle customer. Helpful with problem solving and figuring things out. Experienced auto/motorcycle/marine parts help and diagnosing.
