About

I’ve worked in several different fields and have enjoyed many. I’ve succeeded fairly well in the animal welfare industry, as I was a manager for 5 years. I have a strong attraction to challenges and bettering workplace productivity and efficiency. Most of all I am quick to learn and ready for more.
