SK IL LS

I�m very competent w ith not only lea ding projects but taking on the little and

tedious jobs as well . On e of my bigg est strengths is learning the ins and outs

of everything that g oes on i n my day -to-day environment, in opposition to

keeping my head down and onl y le arni ng what I need to know to do my own job. I

can manage, answer q uest ions , br ains torm, give thorough and understandable

directions, and take dir ecti ons quit e well in any environment.

I�ve gained skills i n se vera l co mput er programs such as Microsoft Office,

Excel, and Powerpoin t as wel l as Goo gle Docs, Slides, Classroom, Survey, and

more.
