Career
Objective / I graduated in the top 25% of my high school class with a 4.3 GPA. Throughout high school, I developed my communication skills by working at a small retail store with the emphasis on full customer support. Since then, I have shown excellent critical thinking skills while working for the Dupage County Forest Preserve by completing comprehensive tasks with little or no instruction. I currently run an eBay business which has accumulated nearly 1000 sales. I am a Sophomore in the Business Administration Major at Illinois State University and am excited to work for the Radisson because I would like to prepare for the business world after college. I would enjoy the opportunity to utilize all of my skills in this new job as well as develop new ones. I am very flexible and will readily adapt to any challenges that arise.
