Serving in professional office roles in diverse contexts I have been given a variety of supervisory roles, fiscal responsibilities, and have been depended upon for accurate reporting and research. Through these experiences I have developed strong interpersonal communication and facilitated team cooperation with each opportunity. I am continuing my doctoral work at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN beginning fall 2020 and I look forward to new opportunities within this community.
