Summary
In groups of people, I am able to listen and communicate my thoughts effectively as well as work with others to come up with a solution to problems that may arise. I have a willingness to learn and be open minded to every person I have interacted with. In situations where creativity, problem solving, and critical thinking are needed to be overcome, I excel at it. I can work with computers and all applications that have been introduced to me such as google teams, excel and google docs just to name a few
I am deeply passionate about my goal to be able to help people in any way I am capable of. I value my creativity and the out of the box solution I can come up with. I also enjoy trying to solve problems and find the most effective way of doing it.
