Life is a constant learning experience and I jump at every opportunity I have to grow and expand my knowledge. I learn quickly and listen carefully. I am punctual for appointments. I finish projects within the time expected and am sensitive to the needs of others. Im not afraid to ask for help and will tell you when there is a problem and work efficiently to fix it. I am reliable, open-minded, and flexible. I love meeting new people and working with others, and am also a strong independent worker. I recently began working creatively with elementary school students with The Theatre of All Possibilities as an Actor and Director, which has been a rewarding learning experience. I have had multiple jobs, which have required me to work with many different types of people so I have acquired strong customer service and people skills. My BA in Drama from San Francisco State University has also given strong people skills and work ethics to succeed in many different facets of life.
