Throughout my career I have been adept at being able to easily transition to new challenges in different career fields and utilizing those experiences to build up a record of work that is filled with important responsibility and decision making.The core of my work experiences has been communication and my ability to create relationships that are mindful of others in order to foster trust that allows for the ability to influence people so that they can recognize their responsibility and take appropriate action. My belief is to work with integrity and to do what you say you will do in order to show clients, co-workers, or employees that they can depend on what you say and do. To lead by example is the greatest way to win over people and to let them know we are in this together and can accomplish great things when we are moving in the same direction. I believe that in all interactions respect is the natural first step in the process. Some think that respect is earned, I differ in that opinion and believe that respect should be given to all and is not earned but a normal state of being for everyone. However, I do believe that respect can be lost and once it is lost there are very few ways to regain what is lost. Throughout my work career my beliefs have allowed me to work with great success whether that meant being a congressional staffer and building relationships with community leaders and constituents in an effort to improve the communities we live in, to working as an investment representative and actively listening to my clients to better meet their investment needs and financial goals, to being the director of operations of an in-home care company and managing the company in a way that shows dignity to the elderly clients and to the employees that work for them.
