About Me

I am a dependable, motivated and passionate person. I get along well with others and am able to work unsupervised as well. I have a strong work ethic and am approachable and teachable. I have strong clerical and administrative skills, yet a desire to enter into the field of Social and Human Services to help others. I am able to follow directions, fulfill tasks and complete goals in an efficient manner. Once I complete my BS in Psychology I plan to go for my Master's Degree next. Given the opportunity I am a desirable asset and would like to utilize my abilities to enhance growth a company in the near future.
