Summary

I am an extremely hard working person and pride myself on my team oriented attitude, above average problem solving skills, and above average ability to learn and retain new skills fast. I’m not afraid to ask a lot of questions in confirming proficient performance with a healthy balance of elite problem solving skills. Over my years in the work force I’ve enjoyed the ability to learn and retain any skill, trade, or position much faster than the average worker. I have consistently exceeded expectations of superiors while moving through the ranks of different industries. I attribute this to my obsessive attention to detail, thirst for knowledge, communication skills, adaptability, going above and beyond, presenting as an asset and never as a threat, competing with myself while uplifting and helping co-workers, and perfecting industry skills outside of paid company time. I refuse to do ANYTHING halfway or contribute a minimum effort. To this day I maintain a 3.9 gpa in my college classes but transitioned to the workforce early after having my first child at a very young age and not finding adequate fulfillment or direction while pursuing a general business degree. I feel extremely confident from the workplace success I’ve experienced. However, I have maintained an extremely humble disposition, never display overconfidence, identify/resolve all potential conflict points before they develop, and dedicate the highest level of respect to all superiors and peers. Finally, I would like to close with saying that my recent experience as a traveling self-contractor in the industrial/commercial space has opened my eyes to experiences outside of my hometown circles. I’m eager to continue exploring new places, building new bonds, and learning new skills while returning to enjoy the security/consistency of a reputable and innovative company again.
