简短自我描述

I have worked with her for almost three years. She is an enthusiastic employee and colleague. She can work well with other people and also individually. But she is really more of a leader than a follower. She can manage and supervise other employees as well. Little or no supervision is needed when she is working. She has a reliable working habit that gives you the assurance that you can always count on her.
