About

Business Process Analyst focused in correspondence and executive support, US Army Veteran (Human Resources Captain), customer service expert, and creative problem solver. I'm naturally inclined to support others, and passionate about finding solutions and/or helping others perfect their craft. With four years of military experience as a principal advisor, and two years as an executive assistant, I've gained invaluable technical and leadership skills and quickly discovered a love for data and automation as well. My hope is to provide support to others in a way that is compatible with my administrative strengths and other interests.
