Objective

My experience is practical and I am a powerful and positive leader with the skills and education to tackle complex projects and large organizational systems with proven results.

Qualifications

I hold a Master’s of Public Administration with a concentration on Organizational Management from the University of Colorado.

I have worked in the public and private sectors in complex coordination rolls such as overseeing Social Security Sponsored service providers, contractors, sub-contractors, engineers and multidisciplinary departmental coordination as a Dementia Specialist.

I have the ability to write policy and to implement current public and corporate policy while moving forward with diverse implementation strategies. I also have a commitment to helping others fulfill their highest potentials through health and wellness with the belief that everyone has the right to achieve their highest practicable abilities.

I am a solid writer, researcher, public speaker, employee trainer and presenter. I motivate using positive reinforcement through an understanding of the greater good. I build coalitions using my honed ability to educate and to motivate through a focus on the best possible outcome for all involved in each situation.
