Accomplishments
I am passionate about always doing a great job despite challenges that may occur. My greatest accomplishments in my life is raising my two daughters who have had a multitude of health problems while preforming my job duties. During this time I have had to learn how to manage my time properly while multi-tasking to ensure that all timelines were met, that every aspect of my job was done correctly. I am a driven, team player who enjoys completing tasks and learning new skills.
