Applied my extensive background and experience in Human Resources, information systems, and project management to become an effective community leader and volunteer. Skills used to advantage in the private sector can be translated successfully to the public sector, non-profits and municipalities. While some of the challenges may be different, there are always stakeholders and constituencies to serve. Whether employed or giving it away as a volunteer, the most important asset is passion for the work followed by an ability to deliver positive results.Since moving to Dartmouth, MA in 1999, involved in a variety of service activities, including sitting on government committees, non-profit regional boards, and holding elective office. As a former HR, systems, admin executive,with project management strengths, I switched gears after leaving the Boston area but never slowed down. My passions are history & heritage, preservation, and a myriad cultural pursuits. Common themes are education, life long learning, and giving back.Specialties: HR programs, systems & operations, risk management & compliance, customer service centers, vendor management and outsourcing, project management, fundraising, communications, organizational development, most recently for non-profits
