Summary
As an employee I feel that I'm reliable and always try my best to adapt to change and work well autonomously. I aim to be a supportive member of a team and communicate clearly. Values I hold close are, compassion, helpfulness and dependability. I enjoy work where I can support others and feel I am making a positive impact on others and the community.
This resume outlines the experience I have had with work related to youth. Time gaps between youth jobs has been filled with either travel or agriculture work. I am happy to supply a full history of work if requested.
