ABOUT ME
Hard worker, detail-oriented, works well with others, blah-blah-blah.
I mean don't get me wrong, of course I'm all of those things, but let's be real, anyone can look up good buzzwords to put on a résumé. Here's who I really am, inside and outside the office.
TEN PRINCIPLES OF MY LIFE:
-
Positivity is key. Everyday you make a choice about your attitude and that choice affects others just as much as it affects yourself.
-
Try to learn something new every week, whether that is a simple little-known fact, a new lifehack, or why pandas are so chill. The knowledge adds up and you never know when it will come in handy.
-
Never miss an opportunity to connect with someone.
-
No one is ever too unimportant for your time.
-
Be willing to compromise, but don't be a pushover.
-
Always look at a challenge as an adventure.
-
Leave someone in a better mood than they were in before.
-
Encouragement is never overdone.
-
Let your work show your success, not your voice.
-
NEVER leave a plate of nachos unfinished.
I am a:
HOCKEY FANATIC
MUSIC LOVER
world-traveler
And of course a foodie

I LOVE to be in front of people, which is pretty cool seeing that public speaking is the #1 fear in America... even before death. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WOULD LITERALLY RATHER DIE THAN GIVE A CLASS PRESENTATION. Really? I mean, I'm not fearless (Yeah I'm looking at you, leeches) but put me in front of a crowd of 5 to 5,000,000 and I'll never feel more comfortable.

"Mom, why would you buy that parrot for $600 when you can get a queen mattress, box-spring, and bed frame from the local bedding store for $100 less?" That's how my nickname "walking commercial" came to be. My mom even told me I should apply for a job there. Unfortunately, that store wasn't looking to hire a 6-year-old salesman. If they could see me now...

I have a HUGE passion for helping others and hearing their stories. I love to volunteer, whether it is at food shelves, hand-delivering meals to the homeless, or helping out with the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Physical help is always great, but listening to the story of someone's life and having a true HUMAN CONNECTION is what I live for.
