Summary
I am an excellent communicator and my greatest academic strength is my writing ability. I have experience with managing a heavy workload, and my ability to multi-task and problem-solve, particularly under pressure, is proven. I bring not only a strong and organized work ethic to every task and problem I approach, but also a high quality of work. Even with tight deadlines and time constraints, I have shown my ability to produce quality solutions to problems and complete projects. Finally, my ability to consider varying viewpoints when approaching issues allows me to create comprehensive and well thought-through work.
