Summary
My previous job roles have all had an immense impact on who I am now, in many different ways. They have provided me with the skills to be able to learn, to adapt to changes, to work effectively with a team - no matter the size, to handle complex tasks and dissect them into manageable chunks, and so many more vital competencies I possess as a person now. But, perhaps the main thing my specific roles have taught me, is the ability to admit when I'm wrong, or unaware of the correct answer, and the humility to ask someone. I am very proud of my competencies, and I am confident in my abilities for numerous tasks and roles, but I am always willing and excited to learning what I do not know.
