My business experiences with software companies and public service (US Air Force and Department of Justice), as well as my educational, entrepreneurial, and Artist accomplishments, have all contributed to a long record of success. Throughout all these experiences the common recipe for success has been: applying my creative and analytic problem solving abilities; strong communication and team building skills; and most importantly my ability to listen versus hear a client’s wants and needs.Whether my role has been in project management or product development, my business analysis skills have applied to all. I consider myself an expert at working with all stakeholders involved in a project or product in regards to coordinating with internal and remote development teams and all management levels to ensure a project or products goals and deadlines are accomplished. In my free time, I can be found in my studio creating paintings and sculpting or enjoying the freedom of the outdoors. I support several nonprofit organizations through licensing and sales of my artwork and public speaking and signings.
