Took time out from my career to follow a passion - to provide strong administrative skills in support of an organization doing valued non-profit work. Moved to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for two years and on a pro-bono basis served a large church, grades 1-12 school and a variety of outreach programs. Thrived on providing consultative insights to a host of acvitities, including comprehensive organizational development support, new accounting systems, staff development and evaluation tools, tax compliance and legal oversight, and even converted a former church property into a viable, for-profit business venture ultimately resulting in an eventual sale with a 75% return on investment.

Concurrent part-time employment while undertaking full-time studies at Christ For The Nations Bible Institute. Provided all accounting and administrative responsibilities in support of a network of ministers and churches across the U.S. Sharpened adminstrative skills here as I was the only employee other than the president, and it was my responsibility to coordinate all-things financial, organizational and administrative. This included promoting, organizing and conducting an annual retreat for approximately 100-150 pastors, wives and staff.
