I have over twenty years of work experience ranging from outside sales, to business owner, to restaurant management and bartending, to therapist for children and teens with severe emotional and behavioral issues. I have excellent customer relations skills, as well as extensive experience in hiring and training staff. My experience is diverse, and causes me to enjoy new challenges, rather then being afraid of them. I am self-motivated, able to work well with others, and strong in the area of finding better, more efficient ways to accomplish goals and "make things happen."
I am able to accept direction, as well as to offer advice and to delegate. I communicate well with a wide variety of people, and enjoy knowing that I've done my best. I believe that there is no substitute for the feeling that comes from accomplishing goals while helping someone else, in the process.
