I thrive under pressure and am dedicated to continuous learning and personal growth. I love collaborative environments and working with teams to deliver high-quality work while meeting deadlines. I can also work independently.
My biggest strength is in the relationships and trust I build with those around me. I am open and honest about the fact that I don’t think I know everything and that I will always make sure I understand an issue by drawing on the experience and intellect of others.
