Summary

I am an excellent communicator, both written and verbal. I listen well to others and I am not afraid to ask for clarification, if I don't understand the question. I work effectively in a team environment and I have demonstrated teamwork while employed with Kilbirnie Sports. I enjoy a challenge and can adapt to changes. I am always excited and ready to give it my best. I am self-motivated and able to work autonomously using my own initiative. I am reliable and do not need constant supervision once I know the expectations. I am enthusiastic and always willing to learn and take direction from those more experienced than I.
