I am a highly enthusiastic, creative, and results-driven professional possessing formal education and training, a passion for excellence, and related sales, reception, and customer service experience. I am a performer, accustomed to working under fast-paced, high-volume, time-sensitive conditions, a strong team-player/team-builder acknowledged for the propensity to develop and maintain solid relationships with co-workers, customers, and management. I am an extremely quick learner possessing the capacity to easily grasp, apply, and present new ideas, concepts, and methods while controlling multiple responsibilities simultaneously, proactively resolve issues, and consistently meeting and exceeding established goals and objectives. I possess strong interpersonal, organizational, analytical and relationship building skills in addition to excellent written, oral, and technical skills which pair nicely with my creative aptitude. I am seeking to further grow and hone these attributes while contributing my skills in talents to a growing and diverse company.
