SUMMARY

The experience I have gained studying at The Art Institute of Dallas and working in retail and
customer service environments has provided great insight and skills. Analysis ofproblems and
issues, problem solving in a creative way, and computer proficiency are key strengths. I believe my
best work comes from working within a team, and having the chance to work with others for a
common goal.
