I have always learned best on my own and thanks to many opportunities to get hands on experience combined with my strong ambition to learn - I?ve been able to teach myself very effectively. I find my ability to learn anything on my own is often times my most valuable asset, as whenever a new skill is needed, I am able to obtain that skill and begin applying it at a very rapid pace. I work well on my own, but also enjoy working with a team, as a member or a leader.
