I am a bit of a switch hitter - I enjoy the balance between working collaboratively and yet independently to achieve goals, and my creativity allows me to think of new ideas and strategies which can have a broad range of applications while being able to execute these strategies effectively. They are effective because I believe that careful and thoughtful planning is crucial to achieving long term success.
My ultimate goal is to reach my fullest potential as a productive, caring and responsible member of our community which is why I am so drawn to nonprofit work and work within my church; both involve skillfully moving people upward from point A to point B in an effort to reach one’s fullest potential.
