About J. Jeraude Zigler

I often say,\"You will find your ‘Why’ in your ‘Work’.\" This principle drives my determination to show up as the best version of myself, no matter the situation—whether at home, at work, or in my community, I am committed to ensuring my \"Why\" is always reflected in my work. Over 10 years ago, my career took a significant turn due to a role/title change and responsibility realignment in a previous position. It was in this moment that my background in customer service, organizational leadership, attention to detail, and communication merged, leading me to Project Coordination in the Telecommunications field. Since then, I’ve been dedicated to continuous learning and growth, expanding my skill set, and becoming an asset to every organization I’ve worked with. This journey has allowed me to develop key competencies in end-to-end project planning, budgeting, analysis and research, process documentation, change management, and risk control. Bragging is not something I do well or often; however, I am good at what I do because I ENJOY what I do. My \"why\" will always show up in my \"work\"!
