Over the last 16 years I’ve built two careers for myself—working for several organizations in the realm of Gender and Sexuality Justice, and working for myself in the world of freelance consulting. ● Service and Support Oriented – I truly enjoy serving others and playing a supportive role, the work that is often done behind the scenes. I am not out for recognition, but to support others doing their best work so they can make an impact. I anticipate the needs not even yet articulated. I approach my work with a generous and considerate mindset and take pleasure in being a ‘lifesaver’ to many. I push back and manage up when necessary, and enjoy getting to know my client’s needs, tendencies, and style.● Great at Handling Complexity – I can juggle multiple clients, asks, issues, and tasks at the same time. I am highly organized and am ready and willing to jump into new projects, and can manage competing priorities. I know when to ask for help. I have a proven track record of doing seemingly impossible or tedious tasks.● Extremely Detail Oriented – I can make a to-do list like nobody else. I don’t miss deadlines, I write things down, and I close the loop. I notice details, whether it is a missing number, a technical glitch, or a formatting issue. At the same time, I am comfortable with details that change…often.● Flexible Mindset – I am comfortable with grey areas and work to give them order and structure. I keep an open mind, a good sense of humor, and can adapt to almost any situation. I can always find a path forward through information-gathering, establishing expectations, following procedures, and using good judgment.● A Skilled Relationship Manager – I provide a high standard of service to whomever I work for, and to whomever they serve. I am a thoughtful communicator and use integrity when dealing with internal or external issues. I build trust and establish genuine connections easily. My work reflects a positive image on my clients.
