I am a multi-dimensional Army Veteran with over 10 years of extensive experience in managing offices, staff, and programs in fast paced environments. I have led an organization of 600 personnel through five direct reports, providing mentorship and guidance through effective and timely written and oral communication and strong interpersonal skills. I have a comprehensive background providing customer service, managing logistical and administrative functions, property, personnel, and projects, with experience working in three foreign countries. But here’s the thing…although I LOVE leading and mentoring…my true passion is assisting and supporting others in order to make their lives easier. It’s in my nature and in the core of who I am as an individual. I have a positive roll-up-my-sleeves mindset, which makes me willing to take on any level of work responsibility based on what tasks need to be accomplished. I take my responsibilities personally and I enjoy creating order out of chaos. I am meticulous and careful, taking a steady approach and bend with the needs of the situation in order to accomplish the end goals. I am observant and sensitive to others’ emotional states which enables me to anticipate needs. I have the ability to multi-task long and short-term priorities to generate desired results, working independently or collaboratively. I value diversity and inclusion, and I enjoy working with and through a wide range of different people and personalities, building relationships quickly. I strive to lead and work with empathy, integrity, diplomacy, flexibility and efficiency, as I believe these to be building blocks leading to trust and cohesiveness within a team. I am an advocate for empowering people and giving them the necessary tools needed to accomplish an objective and make trusted decisions on their own, which builds confidence in themselves and encourages them to take on more responsibilities. I believe in making conscientious and thoughtful decisions by always thinking ahead, thinking before speaking, and thinking of the possible intended and unintended consequences.
