SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS:
I am a talented Human Resources professional with more than 16 years of
experience in the HR field. I am by nature, a pro-active and self-
motivated, creative thinker with the ability to go above and beyond the
scope of my job duties. I possess excellent communication skills, both
oral and written, which have served me well in my chosen field. In my 16
year career, I have established myself as a true professional by being hard
working, a self-starter, efficient, able to work well independently and as
part of a team and by exercising critical and sound judgment in my decision
making. I headed the internship/volunteer program at Beacon Therapeutic
and managed from a perspective of being flexible, fair and consistent. In
this same position, I helped to streamline many of the benefit and payroll
processes that were in place which helped to ensure a more effective,
efficient and practical approach. I feel that with my unique combination
of qualities, I would be well suited for the current position available
within your organization.
