Skills

20+ years experience managing workflow and resources across multiple industries have provided me with a unique perspective on "the big picture". Whether managing multiple creative departments with high dollar budgets or small teams of people working with intense deadlines, I'm highly intuitive and creative in my approach at achieving the collective goal. I'm open to creative collaboration with a willingness to listen and learn, while offering opinions based on a solid foundation of experience. I choose not to be defined by titles and when asked "what do you do?" my answer is "whatever needs to be done."
