About America Whitten

When something needs to be done my friends and colleagues come to me. I have always loved making things happen and thinking one step ahead to anticipate problems before they arise so I can find the best solution. I have a professional background in event planning, community management and administration. I relish a challenge and believe that the best way to handle a problem is by taking the bull by the horns. I have a track record of success working in high-pressure situation where I have to think on my feet. I am a people person, known for my positive, can-do attitude and my ability to successfully work with different personalities. I take responsibility for my actions and believe that in a team there is no small role. I am always looking to pitch in and do my part to make an idea a reality. My goal is to find a company where I can put down roots, contribute, and grow professionally.
