Qualification Profile

I take great pride in my skills as both a designer and as a researcher. I believe that any design must not only be well executed but also relevant and accurate in all details to the content. I am creative, detail-oriented, hardworking, and driven to strive for the best. I can work well alone or in a collaborative environment. My career goals are to continue to learn and grow in skill as a designer while using those skills to benefit my company. I have well developed communication skills from working in customer service and minoring in communications. I am also widely read and have some scientific training as well. This allows me to bring analytical focus to bear during all stages of a project.
