"We aim above the mark to hit the mark." - Ralph Waldo EmersonI always aim higher with my goals because I want to look back on my life and know I did my best. Self-motivation coupled with humility has helped me reach those high aims in my short but fulfilling life. Without an open mind and a teachable attitude, I never would have achieved top sales producer of the year 2018 for Moon Valley Nurseries' Huntington Beach store, graduated with a master's in management degree from the prestigious University of Virginia at the age of 23, or studied abroad in Ecuador, China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong. Most importantly, though, without self-motivation, never would have become an intramural soccer champion at TWO different universities. (Being a little facetious about that last sentence)Having said all of that, owe my success to several individuals in my life who were there to help me along the way. They shared their life experiences, mistakes, and wisdom in order to help me accomplish my goals. That is why I seek a company where there is ample career opportunity and an environment conducive to learning, sharing and exchanging ideas.Young, self-motivating, teachable, eager to learn, ambitious, creative, entrepreneurial, successful, well-spoken, excellent speaker, public speaker, bilingual Spanish speaker, negotiator, sales, and forward-looking are all adjectives I aim to be... that and a little more
