Summary
I am dedicated and reliable, thriving in roles that require thoughtful planning, organization, and follow-through. I excel at gathering and analyzing information to solve problems, bringing order to chaos, and ensuring tasks are completed with care and accuracy. A natural learner and collaborator, I enjoy building strong relationships, understanding the bigger picture, and contributing to meaningful outcomes. Being in the US Navy taught me discipline, adaptability, and teamwork, while my experience homeschooling and managing a household sharpened my ability to balance multiple priorities. I’m looking for a part-time remote opportunity where I can put my strengths to work.
