I feel that my background has provided me with some distinct experience, having worked at some large multinational companies and some smaller regional firms. Importantly, I think that this broad range of exposure has been a significant factor in helping to diversify my skill set. With that said, I believe that relationship management and product development have been two of my consistent strengths throughout my career and I am interested in continuing to seek out new roles that require me to utilize these skills and encourage me to leverage the relationships that I have worked diligently to establish up until now.
