Summary
Since starting the careers, I have learned a lot about social and emotional skills. I have worked hard to be a supportive coworker in any needed role, and have worked on being a supportive mentor when needed. In any job I am willing to grow and learn to become the best version of what is needed for others within the environment. The jobs I have had have helped me develop my knowledge of different positions, but also different opportunities to help others in a positive and encouraging way. I want to be a supportive figure, but also a leader to help others grow and learn from me as well.
