To Whom It May Concern,

If you study my resume you will find that I am a “well-rounded” and knowledgeable person established through academics and experience. This does not mean that I always know the best solution at first, but I have the background and the confidence to pursue a solution and address it.

Regarding academics, I have an agricultural/engineering college diploma (I’m a Certified Engineering Technologist), 2 municipal management university certifications, leadership training, two Management Essential courses, an Alberta Pesticide Applicator Certificate, ICS 100 and 200 training, Alberta Class-1 driver license, plus many other accolades to my name.

I have been in various government roles and have dealt with many issues on an array of projects. As I gained more experience, my approach to project management has become much more refined. I used digital tools to track and communicate project progress (coordination and organization), but it is also very important to include the human element (interpersonal skills). In other words, work in teams, build connections, and establish trusting relationships. So much more can be accomplished when we focus together on a combined goal.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to chat about how we could mutually benefit each other.

Thank you.
