Summary
I've spent the past decade committed to the telecommunications field, challenging myself each year for continual growth. Maintaining a strong sense of curiosity has allowed me to find passion in what I do, which has fueled a desire for discovery
That discovery has resulted in exposure to an array of hard-skills; including FTTx architectures, Fiber Deep initiatives, Small Cell, and HFC Coax & Fiber design. I’ve worked with many great people, all with varying backgrounds and refreshing perspectives, who I’ve been able to learn from and grow my soft-skills. I’ve taken my professional growth seriously and I have used Fred Pryor training for a variety of courses, including: ‘Effective Skills For A Trainer’, ‘Becoming An Effective Supervisor’, ‘Coaching Skills For Managers & Supervisors’, ‘Project Management’, ‘Managing Multiple Priorities, Projects, & Deadlines’, ‘OSHA Compliance Rules & Guidelines’, and ‘Finance & Accounting Principles’. I’ve also taken a leadership course offered by Dale Carnegie and I have received my Scrum Master & Agile Leadership for Teams certifications through the Scrum Alliance organization
With help from the Scrum Alliance organization, I've been able to incorporate agile practices into organizations I've worked in to allow us to find success adapting to the ever-changing environment that is telecommunications
