In my roles, I have had the privilege of recruiting staff and volunteers to help carry out the mission of engaging alumni in the life of the school long after graduation. I have strong project management skills and the ability to provide teams and projects with the sense of organization. I am able to spot signs for process improvement and arrange pieces and resources for maximum productivity. I am motivated by challenging goals and enjoy being a part of a team that works collaboratively towards a shared objective.
