What is the aim or goal of your writing: Good mentors, good teachers and a variety of challenging opportunities, keen attention to detail, and a strong desire to bring closure in a timely manner on important projects. My work ethic is that I believe that even the insignificant or inconsequential tasks deserves my best efforts; and only through hard, persistent work can important tasks be accomplished (12 to 15 hour days are routine).
