Summary

I am self-motivated. I give my all too any project and am always looking ahead to the next task at hand. Successfully completing one project and moving on to the next one is very exciting for me. I am passionate about my work and truly enjoy working toward the next big goal. For example, after successfully completing a team project ahead of our deadline, I immediately sought out and requested to join another team on a project I had been interested in for a while. I am always looking for the next project to pour my passion into because I am a self-driven person.iam always willing to learn more
