complex situations with ease, keeping an eye on the ultimate objective.
Strategic Leadership, Creativity, & Business Acumen My direct communication style is both a strength

provide opportunities for growth and leadership.
I’m not content with the status quo and am always
looking for ways to improve systems, processes, and people.
