What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I'm an experienced team player with over 10 years of diverse leadership experience. My journey has been marked by a commitment to professional growth and a passion for fostering collaborative environments. I thrive in team settings, where I can leverage my strong communication skills and focus on executing projects effectively.

Currently, I serve as a Student Research Assistant at the California Indian Culture and Sovereignty Center, where I engage in community outreach and assist with research initiatives. My previous role as a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps honed my leadership abilities and taught me the importance of adaptability and organization in high-pressure situations. I take pride in my ability to maintain a positive attitude and build strong relationships with colleagues, which I believe is essential for any successful team.
