A Bit About Me
My work experience has proven to be very valuable to my future career goals, granting me experience with librarianship, the publishing industry, and customer service. I have learned how to be a successful worker as an individual, as well as with peers, executives, and patrons. I am a very personable and loyal employee that remains dedicated to any task put before me.
​
Some additional skills I have acquired throughout my experience are a proficiency in Microsoft Word/Excel/Outlook/Teams, Adobe Photoshop/Premiere Pro/Audition/Dreamweaver, and the relationship management platform Salesforce.
