Summary

SKILLS PROFILE

Throughout my career I have been strategic by identifying challenges quickly and reaching solutions that are easily implemented and support an organizations' goals. I found through working in sales and fundraising that I had to learn excellent communications skills to not only present, but to connect on a personal level. I have become a storyteller, which I find a compelling way to reach people. My father was a career Army officer who imparted me with a deep desire to be of service.
