PERSONAL TRAITS AND ATTRIBUTES

  • Communication

My history working in occupational teams and with other students have made me very good at communicating. Communicating ideas to successfully traverse problems and communicating personal thoughts and feelings are both strong suits of mine.

  • Adaptability

I am particularly proud of my flexibility and ability to adapt. I am a quick learner and I am able to adjust my frame of thinking quickly.

  • Time Management

Most of the work in my life has been self motivated and I work very well when given freedom to pace my own work. Compartmentalizing work and tackling large projects has been a pleasure in my work so far.

  • Organization

From childhood I have been a naturally organized person. I feel as though I can function at a much higher level when my ducks are in a row, and I can really appreciate how organization has played a part in my success.

  • Creative and Critical Thinking, Problem solving.

Another skill I feel I was born with, I have always been able to think outside of the box. Problem solving is something I find enjoyable and challenging, so I practice it frequently.

  • Reliability

I take intense pride in accountability and timeliness. Unless I am fifteen minutes early, I am late. I understand the role that respect plays in showing up consistently, and on time. I know how I would feel if I were blown off, so I make it my personal mission to be someone who can be counted on.

  • Empathy

Empathy plays a key role in my understanding of the human experience. I feel great importance in treating my fellow man with respect and kindness, and I have found that being this person has improved my work and personal lives.

  • Confidence

If one can say they are confident with humility, that is what I wish to share. I do not feel as though my confidence is unearned or over-estimating myself, but I have worked incredibly hard to develop my skills. I feel as though there are positions and roles in life that are made for people who can do those roles confidently. I ensure that I do things with well informed hands and because of that I have true confidence in my abilities.
