About | Profile

Discover a media professional with a broad range of educational and experiential resources

A self-starter with a creative and analytical balance, equipped for quality and volume. A generalist, capable of envisioning and bringing to fulfillment, troubleshooting, and resolving issues quickly. A leader who prefers anonymity, working behind the scenes to guide by placing resources at Internet or Intranet fingertips, and by creating workflow paths to facilitate workers.

Having completed a professional career in local government, not only is the need to supplement the state retirement essential, likewise the array of skills gained needs creative outlet. From consulting, to project management, to task accomplishment—the resources are expansive.  A page of words is not sufficient to convey the depth of knowledge and creativity.
