SKILLS SUMMARY
Dedication, passion, responsibility, maximum effort. Invaluable qualities I strive to incorporate and improve daily, at work and in life. As a proactive, high-energy person with superb organization and communication skills, I excel at getting things done leading the charge, managing the office, overseeing people and projects, keeping things moving seamlessly. Strong analytical and reasoning skills, with a keen attention to detail make me ideally suited for research, budget control, contract management and/or providing legal, finance and HR support. My focus is not only on today’s tasks, it’s foreseeing future challenges and finding solutions before they become problems. Results-oriented vs. reaction-oriented. My job is to take care of you and slay the general dragons, so you can focus on the big picture and running the organization I find my passion in being dedicated to the task, the people, the project and ultimately, the success of the company.
