Summary

I’m a creative and motivated college student who is known for high productivity and efficiency in task completion. With some experience, I’ve gained many handy skills, such as strong communication and teamwork abilities. I love to be around people and meet new ones! Another skill of mine that I uphold is very good time management and organization. Being on time and handling everything with care and efficiency is very crucial to me. I also developed the ability to quickly adapt to new situations and challenges. I love putting myself in new positions, and exploring what the world has in store for me! I am eager to explore new jobs to find the one where I belong! While being a freshman at the University of Arizona, I am excited to balance my responsibilities and apply for positions that will allow me to learn and grow in a professional setting. I am confident that my enthusiasm, strong work ethic, and ability to learn quickly make me a valuable asset to any team.
