Summary:
Before I say goodbye, just a few more things about me.
My ideal company is aggressive and looking to produce exceptional, award winning work.
One in which there is truly a collaborative environment with everyone working towards the
same goal. I want to work for a company that is fair and honest with their employees. One
that will challenge me on many levels both professionally and personally as well as allow
me to grow with the company.
My wide and far reaching exposure too many different types of organizations and
processes has molded me into an invaluable resource to any company because of the
depth of experience and breadth of knowledge that I bring to the table. I am highly
adaptable and have a tremendous ability to hit the ground running while applying my past
experience and knowledge to overcome any new and challenging situations. I am capable
of exceptional multi tasking and have grown accustom to switching gears multiple times a
day while working simultaneously on many different projects as well as with many different
clients and team members.
