Individualization4. Relator 5. PositivityI have two primary skill sets:1. Interpersonal Intuition | I define this as the ability to relate and communicate effectively with a wide range of people in a way that makes them feel understood2. Analytical & Practical Problem Solving Skills | I define this as the ability to quickly identify complexities or obstacles then logically deduce strategic solutions to achieve a goal-based outcomeI\'m passionate about fostering genuine relationships with people; I\'m transparent because I believe that everyone at their core wants a little less pretense and a few more chances to share their true colors. Relationships matter to me. At the end of the day, business, in every form, is fundamentally about people: real people that go home to real families, passions, interests, hobbies and complexities. I am about the business of people. I care deeply about philanthropy and generosity and get excited about opportunities to utilize my two primary skill sets in that arena.
