Although I have minimal experience within the workforce, I can guaranty that I am a flexible hard worker ready to learn and contribute to team success. I am an organized
and motivated individual eager to apply time management and organizational skills in various environments. Seeking entry-level opportunities to expand skills while facilitating company growth. As a college graduate, ex youth team leader I've developed
