objectv arrow I believe that you have to expect a lot from your job, and from your employees. I have very high expectations of myself and my co-workers, and therefore find a way to be on a winning team.

What I seek is an environment that promotes collaboration, appreciation, and success. There is no one that works harder than I for success, and I need to be working with a team that is driven to the same end.

My work ethic, determination, ambition, loyalty, creativity and intelligence make me 100% asset to the right company.
