Summary
Having worked professionally in a variety of contexts, I have discovered that I most enjoy responsibilities that center on connecting with people, helping to solve problems and empowering others for their advancement in work and life.
Supervisors and employers have benefited most by entrusting me to create healthy work environments, facilitate team success and improve organizational efficiency.
These areas of professional strength have served me well in educational, food services, retail, business and real estate management contexts.
