Summary

I am a very outgoing, optimistic (always half-full) person. I have worked both as a client and as a project manager working with the same client base I worked for in the past. My travels have earned me great knowledge when understanding culture as well as client business needs and how to associate with enterprise implementation. I am a go-getter in all aspects of life and work. I have always put client needs first with company best interest at heart. I was top billing consultant for many years. I enjoy seeing the client express joy and smiling when the task/job is done and the appreciation they share. The company benefits greatly from this kind of interaction.
