Having a friendly personality, being full of creative ideas, and analyzing things logically will enable me to be a great asset to any organization. I have experience being in different leadership roles; teaching many different subjects; coaching and training people in different areas; and also learning multiple languages to a basic communicative level. My desire is to work for an organization that values my experience and skills and will allow me to thrive and grow in a way that gives me freedom to make the organization more successful.
