Am I what you're looking for?
With all my work & life experience, I’ve become well acquainted with where my strengths and weaknesses lie. These are all the words I think best describe me:
- Highly detail oriented & organized
- My environment has a strong effect on me. I get frustrated with clutter and disorganization, so my tendency to keep everything arranged neatly permeates almost every aspect of my life. My spices each have their a place, my clothes are organized by color, I spent an hour deciding what background to use for this website… it has it’s pros and cons.
- You need me to immediately make a critical, high impact design decisions, right now, this second? Ahh!! Oh no! Anything but that!
- You need me to spend several hours on something to make it the best thing that’s ever been made? Yay, that’s my favorite thing to do!!
- Proactive
- I take the initiative when I see something that needs to be done or something that can be improved, as demonstrated during my time at Johnson & Johnson. If you want to see some examples – go to the “projects” page, and the scroll down to the “Work Projects” section.
- Structured
- Even where there is no enforced structure, I know how to make my own. I enjoy making plans, preparing, and setting up a schedule for myself.
- Positive
- I’m good at not letting the minor stresses in life bog me down. I enjoy building up others around me and creating a positive environment.
- Cooperative
- I strive to maintain harmony within a group, enjoy assisting others, and get along well with my co-workers. If I sense tensions are high or notice someone is uncomfortable with what is happening, I do what I can to ease the situation.
- You need me to fire someone? I will put that off as late as possible and then cry whilst doing it.
- You need me to help train the new hire? Of course!! Here’s a 74 long powerpoint tutorial I made.
- Futuristic & Imaginative
- I spend a lot of time imaging the future and what it could be. I enjoy having every detail planned out.
- My dream is to build a house in the woods and start a retirement home for kitties. I want 15 cats, minimum.
- I spend a lot of time imaging the future and what it could be. I enjoy having every detail planned out.
- Problem solver
- I enjoy the challenge of solving a puzzle and the satisfaction I get after figuring it out. I have a knack for figuring out what the problem is and then finding the solutions.
- Disciplined
- I’ve had to put in a lot of hard to work to get to where I am today. For example…
- As a child, my parents started a carpentry shop, & they had me work there throughout the summers during my elementary & middle school years.
- My dad had me help him with various projects around the house including replacing the grass in our front yard, building a fence around our half-acre back yard, & building a chicken coop.
- I started working at 17, moved out at 18, & I’ve worked full-time during the entirety of earning my degree so I could avoid going into debt.
- I’ve also been weightlifting for the past four years and practicing martial arts for the past six.
