Capital Heights

Summary

Since joining the Washington DC Summer Youth Program at the age of 14, I have gainfully experienced employment training in many phases of government office management, receptionist roles, Public Speaking engagements, software usage, meeting minutes training, customer service and networking engagement for the DC HERO PROGRAM - located on the Gallaudet University grounds. After 4 years of training in the Program, I left the area to attend North Carolina Central University, via Scholarship Awards, to further my education in pursuit of a great career and further growth within a great firm, company or organization. I have developed a skillset along with further education which I would like to apply at a full-time career position.
