Summary

I am a very motivated worker who is constantly seeking to learn and excel at tasks which are given to me. I excel at sales due to my background working in retail, and in restaurants. I always maintain excellent relationships with my supervisors and co-workers so that the work environment is improved both for myself and for others. I am faithful to the tasks I am given, adaptable for any environments I am placed in, and teachable in learning new things.
