LICENSES/CERTIFICATES PROGRAMS/WORKSHOPS PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS HONORS/ACTIVITIES Summary I lead by example, adapt easily to situational requirements, and facilitate operations through initiative and teamwork, motivating others with disciplined enthusiasm. I multi-task smoothly in high-pressure situations and fast-paced environments, organize effectively, and create solutions where others might only see problems. I communicate clearly, counsel sensitively, and listen to understand, not just to hear. I enjoy challenges, learn quickly, and get the job done on time and under budget. I bring energy, creativity, and initiative to every task I undertake. To be blunt, I can talk the lingo, but prefer to get the job done without pretenses. While much of my career has focused on human services and consultations because I enjoy the inherent rewards found in helping others, my life experience is and interests are diverse and eclectic. I welcome you to question or test me. I thrive on learning and am open to any position in any field that offers a challenging and rewarding work experience. My personal interests include music, writing, photography, computers, learning, running, staying fit and living healthy, community service, helping others, and sharing positive activities with friends. I offer my knowledge, experience, and abilities to your organization.
