Overview
As an energetic experienced and results driven trainer, mentor, coach and manager, I excel at pulling the very best out of my direct reports in whatever capacity they may serve. I sought strengths in others and used that praise to foster improvements in other areas. Being approachable and an extremely effective communicator, it allowed me to achieve the common goals of all the extensive, vast opportunities I have been entrusted with. This is a recipe for success that was handed down to me and I have shared with those willing to learn and grow. I have successfully mentored others. I have continuously sought process improvements with every position I have held. I look forward to replicating this in future endeavors. Professional Experience
