Summary

I have established a strong work ethic beginning early on in my teenage work experiences. During undergrad and grad school I have held both non-field and field related employment which gave me the experience and appreciation for both operational and management responsibilities. I enjoy working with all ages of people. I strongly believe in teamwork, and feel that I exemplify team playing ethics in the workplace. Over the past 20 years, I am and have been involved in volunteer work with church, civic, and social groups of ages ranging from 2 through seniors. I enjoy projects that are challenging and creative. I am skillful in organization and task oriented projects. I enjoy working with people of any age, creed, or beliefs. I have been an employer as well as an employee, and understand and respect both positions.
