Summary

I am an energetic, strong, worker that can keep my cool under pressure and any situation. During heavy times of fast operations, keeping organization with the urge of cleanliness is my specialty. Solving puzzles and critical thinking is something I do on a daily basis, teaching myself new skills, techniques, and information/subjects are areas of myself that I can do second nature. Being very independent and using all these skills of mine in the workplace will be noticed. I graduated with my Diploma at Adult and Continuing Ed. In Ventura County to quickly graduate. Before that, I went to El Camino high school, while taking college classes for faster credits, which was a requirement to participate in the specific school.
