SUMMARY

Though I will swiftly attain a firm grasp of the big picture, I am a detail-oriented individual with excellent analytical ability. Creative problem solving is my strength. I have over twenty years of research/systems experience, in addition to three years in the education field. I can quickly grasp complex concepts and will systematically achieve all that I undertake. In addition, my nature drives me to excel at everything I attempt. If I am not already proficient at a task, I am not only capable of learning the techniques extremely quickly but am driven to complete the task as quickly and efficiently as possible. If I am already adept at the process, I will attempt to do it better.

I am a team player and work well in a group, as well as in an individual capacity. My communication and interpersonal skills are also superior. My ability to give prepared, informative, and impressive presentations will be an asset to your organization. I am very capable of presenting ideas to uninformed listeners in a way that will help them easily understand concepts being discussed.
