Personal Skills
* Self-motivated – I am not a follower, but a leader. Yet, I can also be a team player. I am self-motivated in all that I do and therefore can motivate others. I easily encourage others to never give up on a project. The old sayings, “If there’s a will, there’s a way” and “At first you don’t succeed, try, try again,” I practice and promote.
* Oral Communications – makes clear and convincing oral presentations to individuals or groups; listens effectively and clarifies information as needed; facilitates an open exchange of ideas and fosters atmosphere of open communication(see tab “Recommendations”).
I have polished this through:
Psychology College Courses,
* Public Speaking, and
* Member of Toastmasters.
Logical Thinking – this is a key to making sound decisions and solving complex problems; a process in which one uses reasoning consistently to come to a conclusion. Problems or situations that involve logical thinking call for structure, for relationships between facts, and for chains of reasoning that make sense. This is an innate human ability. From earliest times, human beings have used this power. The first systematic study of logic is credited to the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 B.C.).
* Civil Litigation I & II
* Negotiation and Conflict Resolution,
* Interpersonal Conflicts,
* Critical Thinking, and
* Psychology courses pertaining to books such as: “In search of the Human Mind,” by Robert J. Sternberg and “Mind and Brain” by Time Life.
Counseling Skills – is the act of exchanging opinions and ideas; consultation, advice or guidance, especially as solicited from a knowledgeable person, a plan of action, and private, guarded thoughts or opinions.

* Responsible – I am extremely responsible and reliable, which is a part of my punctuality and loyalty.
* Punctual – Always early or on time. My punctuality revolves around the loyalty I give to those I work for or for those who work for me.
* Innovative – Always looking for a better, and if possible, simpler way to complete the project at hand.
* Quick Learner – I can learn anything that interests me quickly.
* Technical/Computer Skills – As noted above, I can learn anything quickly if need be. I don’t waste time learning a program or even part of a program if I’m not going to use it at that time, when it’s time to learn it I give it my all and learn, such as the following programs:
