Available to hire
With a unique set of organically cultivated skills, I’m seeking an opportunity that will challenge and utilize my nearly 30 years of professional experience as a self-starting producer, manager, business administrator and artist. I approach every opportunity as a chance to learn, be creative, engage socially, and bolster my entrepreneurialism.\n\nCulture, shared values, adaptability and respect are the grounds for a great working relationship and I’m prepared to contribute in nearly any variety of business environments where these fundamentals apply. And also, I make a mean deviled egg. Just sayin’.
