To whom it may concern,

For over the last two decades, I have a demonstrated track record of leading and achieving key deliverables and project timelines in senior public and private sector roles. Many of these roles were as Project Manager successfully working hand in hand with consultants on numerous occasions successfully implementing new processes, procedures, quality initiatives as well as new equipment installations.

I have been commended for developing positive and proactive relationships within the community. I have the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-stress environment like yours, where quality, innovation, community collaboration, speed of decision-making and execution is critical to continuous success.
