I am a very honest, dependable, and hard working individual. I work well alone or with a team, I’m also capable of demonstrating good initiative, as well as receiving direction. While enlisted in the United States Marine Corps I received a Certificate of Achievement for graduating third in my occupational training class, was awarded a Certificate of Commendation from my battalion commanding officer for “superior performance of duty”, and earned a Certificate of Good Conduct for creditable conduct. I was a Non Commissioned Officer achieving the rank of Corporal (E-4). Upon my departure from the military I was given an honorable discharge. My work is my passion which I believe allows me to do it well. My enthusiasm for my work continues to grow along with my knowledge.
