Mission Statement:
Management can have a significant impact on any business, whether managing people, processes or purpose. I have discovered a strength in management, someone who embraces learning as well as coaching others, who finds satisfaction in identifying solutions and performance improvement, who thrives in a fast-paced environment while building respectful relationships. I also want to have fun while delivering results and exceeding expectations.
I am eager to share my humorous, diverse approach with an organization that values its people, new ideas and the excitement of growing its business. As a team leader or individual contributor, I strive to encourage others to feel confident, motivated and engaged to learn and grow along side of me. I appreciate effective communication that makes things simple, clear and exciting so everyone can be successful, working together toward shared goals.
