Deb Gear

I enjoy working in a team and I value learning from the diverse personalities I work with and the knowledge of others. I am a motivated individual, working well independently or as a team member to achieve outcomes. Meeting and engaging with people from different backgrounds is a pleasure and a way to gain new knowledge and information. I am a positive, patient, and self-motivated person with excellent communication skills I am always open to new training, learning, and experiences.
