Was the interim office director for periods of time in the years that I worked at the U.S. Commercial Service.

Other job duties were organizing border trade events and exhibition commercial delegations where I had to see the logistics, marketing, presenters presentations and one on one meeting coordination for invitees. I also gave crossborder business counseling to U.S. based companies interested in trade and operations in Mexico. Wrote several Market research reports.
