Communication

As project lead on a recent Culture Study, I was

able to serve as liaison between the client and

various creative teams during the development

of print, video, and web content for use in

communicating the findings to key stakeholders.

Learning and sharing with others is a passion of

mine. I view effective speaking, writing, and

listening as three of the most valuable tools

available in building strong relationships.

In order to lead most effectively, I strive to earn

the trust of others while remaining eager to help

“serve in the trenches” whenever possible.

Naturally gifted with strong organizational and

analytical skills, the ability to manage information

and quickly draw accurate conclusions is a

strong competency of mine.
