In My Own Words
Have had many life experiences in my short time that have shaped a unique perspective on the world. In short I know I wasn't meant to fall in to the routine of what "life" is today, clocking in the 9-5 going to work and paying bills. There is something more there and I am determined to find it. I am simply not willing to sacrifice my passions for a pay check.
My strengths come in my critical thinking and problem solving abilities. I have a need to see the whole picture, not just one part, making the best possible decisions with all the information available and challenging assumptions on the way.
I'm best when the pressure is on and their is a sense of urgency, I thrive in the 4th quarter.
