Summary

I am in third and final year of high school. I have gained some invaluable work experience over the past three summers working in hospitality and distribution. I am hard working, dependable and a quick learner. I plan on taking a year off before attending Conestoga Collage for Electrical Engineering to save money and hopefully do some travelling.
