Summary
Coming on 5 years of experience, predominantly in customer support and heavy lifting, I bring a very active attitude with me to work. I'm especially invested in being a part of a growing industry, to be learning and regularly adapting is definitely where I strive. I'm chatty, wear a big smile but that doesn't take away from my productivity. I'm confident that my team and leadership skills can insert me well into any group.
