Rachel Madowitz

Southeastern U.S.
I cannot believe the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Leo Rosten

Summary

As a dedicated and driven self-starter, my commitment to the communities I've served is evident through my ability to develop critical relationships, passion for workforce development, team building, and conflict resolution. I am able to be fluid and work effectively across multiple environments - from project planning and delegating tasks, to whipping up eye-catching graphics, to writing reports with a sense of urgency; I am able to think on my feet and adapt. These competencies empower me to lead effective teams, foster open communication, meet metrics, and round out my qualifications as a top-notch candidate in an ever-changing world.
