PROFILE
I am an outgoing, loyal, dependable and dedicated individual who has an
ambition to
succeed in any given environment. Although I have extensive experience in
the event
management, trade-show and employee recognition industries, I do not take
that
experience for granted, always focused on continuous improvement both
personally
and in the programs I manage. I work exceptionally well in both a team
environment
and on my own, with experience and confidence in working with all levels of
management.
I am seeking a position where I can excel while giving my best to an
employer.
