SUMMARY

I believe that my education in Event Management combined with my numerous years experience in

office and administration settings, work together to give me an especially great advantage when

approaching different assigned projects in both group and individual dynamics.

My knowledge and gained skills in planning and coordination can be different from most people in

the field, and that gives me a unique perspective and the ability to see solutions that are more

logistical, creative and resourceful. I draw on all three components to solve both every day issues

and special challenges.
