While I have worn many hats I have been fortunate to be quite successful in each of them. I am eclectic in my background but very capable of being focused on the task at hand. I have spent the past several years taking care of loved ones on hospice and am now at a place were I can concentrate on the future. I look forward to an opportunity to speak with you. ~ Coni Authorized to work in the US for any employer
