Summary

One could argue that all of dreams have been fulfilled as a promising young basketball player. Since the first opportunities to study and play basketball in the United States came along in the early years of the 21st century, those dreams continue to be fulfilled to this date. The personal learning, as a foreign student, as a foreign player, is embedded in me. It has been all this time. Nowadays, all work projects and unusual jobs is the result of all these years of living the dream, living a multicultural lifestyle, with unique experiences conditioned to moments of leisure, learning, and gratitude. Being an individual bilingual has already and is still providing bilingual jobs in areas where could never have imagined. However, by joining together quick and persuasive learning it is possible to perform every single job precisely.
Considered myself as an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. To seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.
