Summary

I'm a young and highly motivated individual, with experience in most fields of the electrical industry. I'm always striving to learn and better myself, expanding my knowledge of the electrical trade. I always demonstrate great attention to detail in all my work, I show great pride in how I handover my work and in how I present myself professionally. Showing up with with a can-do attitude and a great work ethic, there aren't many situations that I cant solve or overcome safely and efficiently.
