Alejandra Lozano

I consider myself a highly organised individual, with a strong work ethic. Due to the experience that I have had so far, I am confident to say that I have developed social skills over time. I am a very enthusiastic individual in many ways.

I enjoy learning new things and working with others, as well as gaining knowledge in any field. I strongly believe in new experiences whether similar to my past ones or new ones, skills can be gained anywhere. I enjoy taking risks; however, I will always be aware of the consequences.

I try my best to use the resources available, instinct, and problem-solving skills to work things through. I can also relate to having good punctuality and attendance, which for me is fundamental in a working environment.
