Other skills

I worked in the customer service industry for over 10 years and therefore gained a lot of different communication skills. I learned how to react in tough situations in my previous management jobs and found ways to resolve conflicts if there was ever an in-counter. I am very well organized and put everything in a digital calendar that I update on a daily basis. I have evolved great organizational skills when it comes to balancing school and work. I’ve juggled managing a few systems and websites while going to school and having a job, so therefore I had to organize and prioritize my time according to the importance of projects. In my experience both from work and school, I’ve acquired the ability to work well in teams. I’ve realized that different approaches and techniques work in different groups and that you always need to find what works best for each group to be able to get the most out of people.
