Some of my credentials are listed below. While technical skills are important in selecting a consultant, there
are other "soft" skills that are of equal value. I am a solution oriented person, and take great responsiblity
over the projects I manage; at the same time, I also get along well with others. Not only do I perform the
work that is asked of me, but I also try to mentor and transfer knowledge when possible to those who work at,
below, and above my levels in an organization. Through the combination of my experiences in for-profit and non-
profit companies, I have developed the ability to work with difficult people and situations. References of managers
I have worked with and for are available upon request. Thank you for your time in browsing my website. I look
forward to working with you and your company.
