Professional Summary

I am tenacious in my pursuit of opportunities which allow me to take personal responsibility and give me the decision-making authority to solve problems and successfully complete projects. The diversity of my work and life experiences thus far have given me a unique set of skills, and I look forward to adding even more skills with each new opportunity. Specialized support requires constant reeducation to perform as a “super user”. Transitioning into the analyst role has given me a new insight on corporate strategy and global operations. Engineering has honed my logic and ability to provide detailed resolution. When I was promoted to Manager, I adapted to the position of both leading others to their highest potential and meeting the expectations of my supervisors. My extensive time as a Service Tech expanded my abilities in the areas of understanding and utilizing ever-changing technology and customer service skills. As a Sales Engineer, I learned successful sales techniques, finance skills and developed my ability to lead work groups. My time as an EMT taught me valuable oral communication skills and how to quickly assess a difficult situation and take the best course of action. For me, personal fulfillment involves growth, learning and helping others. My goal is to continue seeking opportunities that enhance all three.
