I offer high level experience with- • Project implementation • Program management • Staff development • Public speaking • Event planning • Customer service • The United States educational system By nature and training, I am a high achieving individual. This leads me to be confident, decisive, and I always work make a positive impact. Being very analytical, I am a powerful catalyst for positive change. I prefer to empower others when possible as compared to asserting control over every project or plan. Significance in my work environment is very important to me. I am very effective and comfortable under pressure and know how to make good decisions in these situations. Responsibility is something I embrace. Outside of the workplace you are most likely find me on two wheels, and I enjoy mountain biking, dirt biking, or riding a motorcycle whenever possible. Mostly I just want to leave any environment I interact with better off than when I entered it, and I try to apply this ideal to all aspects of my life.
