t of me to work and live amidst multicultural people and be an active team playe

icultural orientation which I believe is most important in these times of global
ization and internationalism. Additionally, I have strong organizational, planni
ng & interpersonal skills with ability to interact with people at all levels, ad
aptable to working in a fast paced environment, and have been used to flexible w
