SKILLS
ABOUT LISA FICKENSCHER
Non-profit and small business specialist, with over 15 years experience in project management. Highly detailed, efficient multi-tasker, proficient at research, writing and providing deliverables in a timely manner. Independent self-starter with key experience in building relationships and collaborations.In 2015 my family moved to Auckland, New Zealand as part of a three year contract for my husband\'s job. We returned to the States in December 24, 2017. The depth of experience I gained in navigating a new culture, financial, educational and medical institutions is proof of my resilience, persistence and attention to detail. Moving an entire household overseas twice in three years has given me real world experience in managing many details all within time sensitive time periods. I had to be highly organized to stay on top of all the thousands of details and manage the daily life of my family.
