Roxanne Bliss

I have a history of unrelenting passion and unique successes of empowering others to maximize their potential while impacting the working team. I utilize optimal discernment and creativity to accurately assess and design tailored plans that build upon their strengths, desires, and more importantly, “their” individual and relational challenges to “their” circumstances. I focus attentively to details and operating systems to encourage effectiveness and efficiency, resulting in building my reputation for surpassing expectations in any area I am assigned.
