SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS AND GOALS

I am an accomplished Human Resource Professional with a progressive career reflecting successive advancements achieved via effective, proactive leadership. I have multistate HR experience. Diligent, accurate, and detail-oriented with exceptional analytical and decision-making abilities. I am respected in the Human Resources profession for integrity and my skills in communication, organization, management, and problem-solving abilities.

My goal is to obtain a permanent professional position with a respected agency or company where I can apply my advanced education and passion for guiding employees so they may realize their potential. My Bachelor's and Master's Degrees were both awarded for the mastery of the same family of ideas. That is the in-depth study of how people respond, engage, and communicate with one another and the reasoning behind those actions and choices. Human Resources professionals have mastery of the same philosophies. When I was awarded my advanced degrees, Human Resources was not an area of discipline offered by The University of Arizona or Arizona State University. Having the degrees that I do affords me the advantage of having a broader range of knowledge. As a Human Resources professional I can confidently provide all of the below listed experience that I have gained over the past 10 plus years. That is why I have designed my resume this way. EDUCATION

Masters of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice, Arizona State University, Phoenix, AZ Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS
