I am a multi-faceted professional with several areas of experience and skills. I am currently looking for remote or in-office full-time employment and would particularly love to find a position in which I feel I am making a positive difference every day. While I understand that my work history is a bit unconventional, I believe my professional and volunteer experience is well suited to a variety of roles, and, if given a chance, can prove what an asset I would be to your team. #readytoworkI am an administrative professional with 7 years experience in the academic and engineering-design arenas. I have coordinated grant proposals and NGO development projects; managed admissions, records, registration, financial aid, and employment for 70+ domestic and international graduate students across 5 different degree programs; and coordinated documentation, QC/QA, contracts, scheduling, and team deliverables for a Mission Critical engineering MEP design team.I am a certified Dog Groomer and self-educated pet handler and trainer. I am particularly good with difficult or nervous dogs and animals and regularly receive rave reviews from my clients at my current job as a dog groomer, which I would be happy to provide. I am also skilled in marketing and presentation and have lead multiple improvement projects at my current salon such as seasonal promotional flyers, window painting, front lobby presentation and menu displays, and a multi-lingual grooming phrasebook for working with international clients.I have many creative skills and areas of experience, including: costume and garment design and construction, prop-design and construction, machine and hand sewing, embroidery, beading, wire work, metal smithing, painting both for construction and fine art, screen printing, print making, fiber arts and crochet, leather work and tooling, resin pouring, model and mold making, carpentry, basic electronics.I am passionate about my work and enjoy wearing many hats in the course of my duties. After serving as a teacher with the Peace Corps, creative problem-solving is a second nature to me. I place personal pride in completing my work well, thoroughly, and efficiently, and have been known to be the last person in the office. I communicate well and manage teams efficiently, but do my best work on my own. I like to work for and with people I believe in and trust towards goals that matter.If this sounds like the kind of person you want on your team, please feel free to reach out to me through this profile!
