Hey There!

I have been in your shoes! I know what it is like to have to parse

thorough countless resumes to find the person/people who will best fit into

the organization and be able to excel in the position, only to read the

same standard cover letters which get mind numbing over time.

Well, I am not here to bore you, this is just a simple formality of an

introduction; so with that being said my name is Blair (Hello, back to

you).

I bring a great deal of knowledge, am extremely personable and am focused

and driven to turn every obstacle into an opportunity, while creating

future leaders.

My well rounded experience allows me to boast that I am currently managing

a $50,000,000.00 major project, in a Mobility program. In my role I lead

the team in processes with significant business impact involving cross-

functional teams; which has been demonstrated by my ability to carry out

comprehensive solutions to complex problems.

After my quick intro and before you continue parsing the resumes on your

desktop - consider this resume and note an application of interest.

I am willing to travel up to 100% or work remote with travel up to 75%. I

invite you to call me for a phone interview to see if we have a mutually

set of understood expectations.
