EXPERIENCE

I am passionate about solving problems that make a difference in people’s lives. Developing creative solutions in teams and individually, is a skill that I have worked to strengthen throughout my

undergraduate education. Consistently leaping outside of my comfort zone has cultivated a depth of experience that I am focused to build on as I enter a new stage in my career. I am highly motivated to go

above and beyond to provide an organization with exceptional results. If I am fortunate to receive an opportunity, I will prove that I can provide significant long-term value to your organization.
