Summary

I am currently on dialysis two to three times a week due to kidney complication since my toddler years. I’ve been on my dialysis journey for the past 5 months and it was a big change to my life, but I’ve stayed strong through dialysis and finally put my health first. I’ve been in the concreting business for the past 6 years, all while sick, so I am very strong mentally and physically. I am looking for a job that is suitable for me and my health. I am a very hard working and a reliable person who is keen to learn new skills. I am adaptable and driven with a strong work ethic and can work well in a team. I would love to be given a chance to personally and professionally develop into a contributing member of your team.
