Profile
I am a forward-thinking, results-oriented, people-focused achiever with a passion for solving problems. I believe that the key is innovation and that the development of new ideas is the path to success. I challenge myself to be an “out-side the box thinker”, while still being able to effectively communicate whether it be written or oral. Most pertinently, I understand the strategic importance of customer service and communication as marketing tools in both internal and external arenas of the workplace.
