Erin Abrams Online Resume

Objective

To come home feeling a sense of pride in knowing that I'm making a difference in a child's life is my main objective. I would like to become an asset to the team I join. My professional attitude and ability to stay focused on the task at hand would be beneficial to any employer. To motivate oneself and the others around yourself, as well as the ability to to assess problem situations and resolve them in a calm assertive manner is also a plus. I would like to put the skills I have learned in college, as well as day to day life to use for a company that appreciates hard working, positive, honest individuals. I look forward to growing with that company as well as its employees and customers in the years to come.
