Java – Advanced Java I (4.0) & Operating Systems-UNIX (3.0) Certified Professional Coach – Wainwright International 05/2011 Professional Summary

I have over 20+ years of experience in networking and in information technology (1985-2005). I have focused in various methodologies, business and system analysis and programming techniques throughout my career. Experiences involved working for fortune companies supporting information and data lifecycle development. Employers or clients include EDS, General Motors, USX Corporation, USAir, Alcoa, Gulfstream and Verisign. Having exposure to the companies mentioned has enabled me to learn new products and complex applications quickly; then deliver top of the line products on time. Mix this talent with all the other experiences I have had over my professional career makes me a great job applicant. I am a self-motivator, an independent worker, a very hard worker; yet I connect smoothly with my team, co-workers and clients to provide the best products, service and gratitude for the client.

Due to supporting my daughter’s acting career, I moved to Los Angeles and gained experience in over 13+ years in sales, marketing, communications, training, and networking. This also includes in part to the last year of acquiring real estate licenses in both VA and in SC, and in owning an Actor Training School in Los Angeles from 2011 to 2017. My acting business offered classes to actors nationally and internationally. I also initiated, funded, planned and organized 2 major Industry Expos and 3 Red Carpets for the industry, talent and their parents. The all-day expo events had over 5000 participants; over 30 vendors, 40 agents and managers, and about 25 teachers teaching throughout the day which enabled an educational and networking avenue for all. I am looking to work for a dynamic company that I may be able to use all my technical and analytical expertise that I have acquired throughout my professional career and life to bring the best work ethics, enhance relations with users/customers and to provide top of the line products and support. It's all about relationships and understanding people. My business and personal quote is

“Be The Best of The Best, and GET IT DONE.”
