I am a seasoned Contract Specialist who has enjoyed applying my legal training within a variety of industries, as well as both expanding on and learning new skills along the way. What has been most enjoyable about my career journey is being able to assist others in reaching their goals. Whether it has been a communications client ultimately receiving their building permit to construct a new telecom facility or assisting a line of business in securing access to cutting edge software enhancements, procuring a “win- win” result whenever possible always provides a sense of personal satisfaction and a job well done. I have a passion for “global citizenship.” I enjoy volunteering on a multitude of levels including assisting refugees in transitioning to their new lives within the U.S, passing out warm coats and other supplies to needy families, and reading stories to young children to name a few. I believe you can always find a way to give back and help those less fortunate. I believe it is of the utmost importance to also be able to enjoy life as much as possible. With that said, I love to travel and meet people from different cultures and backgrounds. In this day and age, I think it is critical to have a larger view of the world and all of its intricacies. My last trip was to Italy, but I would also really love to visit Kenya, Egypt, Croatia, and Portugal just to name a few. I enjoy reading, (mostly non-fiction), sci fi movies and historical documentaries. I am a huge history buff so museums, cultural tours and exhibits are some of my favorite pastimes. And throw in a good live performance of pretty much any music genre, i.e. jazz, rock, R & B, or classical and I’m there!
