Summary

In every job I have ever had, I've always wanted to be better, work my way to the top. I strive for perfection, but I can always see ways to better myself. Many jobs I have had, I had little experience, but I was always willing to learn, step up to the challenge presented, and overcome it. I've always been a very driven person and find very few problems I'm not able to work around.
