• To Whom It May Concern: my name is Whitney Eliott, I am a seasoned professional and lifetime local.

I have an exceptional work ethic, a college education, 34 years of practical and successful work experience and am proficient with computers and computer technology.
I am self driven and a self starter, always looking to improve myself and be the best I can be in any field and in any position for which I am hired.
I always aim to exceed expectations or quota and am always aiming to go the extra mile, looking to do the things my fellow coworkers tend to avoid, working hard to make an impact on the company and the people they serve and of course, my supervisors.
I look forward to speaking with you about the potential roles that I would be able to fill in any present and future opportunities working within your company!
• I love helping people with their needs both in my personal life as well as professionally and I very much enjoy the experiences I have experienced and the professional growth and development I have thus gained throughout my professional occupations.
• On my days off I have been volunteering for Meals That Connect as a driver, delivering meals to home bound seniors. I also spent a year living in Tanzania, Africa, as a volunteer in an orphanage and teaching the local children there English.
