I am compassionate and always perceptive to the needs of others. I am reliable. If rules have been made one should keep them - due process is important to me. I have a strong desire to succeed which brings out skills in me such as: attention to detail, being dependable, accuracy of work, commonsense and the ability to see the bigger picture. Challenges are a part of life and I understand that learning is an ongoing process.
