Objective
My objective is to find employment in a job that provides challenging projects, where I'm constantly learning new things and allows for the opportunity to explore and experiment with how I complete each portion. I would love to find placement in a position that has a multitude of different areas in which to stretch my current skill set and develop new ones. I'd like most to be able to truly feel like the work I do helps the entire company to make things easier for all the users of my work to understand.
