Gerald Rigney

I am a diligent and trustworthy person and my peers can attest to this. I am happy to work in a team setting but I am also confident to work autonomously, and always with a good attitude and excellent approach to any task set. Always have a positive attitude with any situation. Excited to take on any challenges.
