As a seasoned Director with diverse experiences to draw upon, I am a Bridge-builder. I connect individuals and organizations more strongly with their potential, surmounting gaps and barriers, increasing successes. With innovative design, I build on strong foundations of insight and research. I manage the development, implementation and ongoing evaluation of systems to successfully meet individual and community needs. I enjoy the seeing the transformation as people grasp new techniques and their own insights to meet needs in their business and personal lives. I provide experiences that give opportunities for individual and cultural awareness, increasing each persons ability to find new paths and build bridges of their own in life. I love the challenge of creating and maintaining programs, services and activities that require daily innovation and adaptation to changing dynamics of participant and societal needs. I value how diversity among individuals and organizations harnessed into collaborative work can create superior results. Results that respect the balance between uplifting individuals and creating a strong society, while respecting the world we give to our children. My extensive technical expertise with the tools needed and superior team leadership and coalition-building skills form solid yet flexible bases for meeting the needs of culturally diverse constituencies, bringing people and services together for a better life in the context of common solution to evaluated goals. I have strong accounting and bookkeeping skills. These skills stand on their own. And enhance my contribution to insights and understanding of the financial processes and implication of reports and choices in management decision-making. Additionally, I come from 4 generations of Abstractors. Built and managed a successful title company. Proficient with all aspects of title work, having worked many counties throughout the Midwest, including the Twin Cities.
