About 

As I pursue my l career I intend to carry the same amount of professionalism I have displayed in the past through my previous experiences in offices, my leadership, and through my education.While receiving a diverse education, I was encouraged to use innovative ideas and methods. This way of thinking has prepared me for unexpected challenges and how to strive in a fast paced environment. I intend to carry the same form of logic I've obtained while simultaneously challenging myself to new ideas.
