JERONIMO ALEXANDER MARADIAGA

Recently arrived refugee applicant from the United States, with up-to-date Canadian working papers and immigration documents. In my home country, I was a graduate student in the medical sciences. Since my arrival in Canada a few months ago, I have had the opportunity to apply existing skills to new areas such as sales and factory day laborer. Regardless of the setting, I am a strong, conscientious worker who learns quickly.
