  • Facilitating the event registration process – processing registrations, sending confirmations, preparing participant handouts, compiling participant evaluations, etc


Personal Strengths

  • I thrive most when given a project “to run with”.
  • Due to the nature of my business, I work very well independently but seek out collaboration when needed.
  • I am a “tinkerer” and always have been, which has allowed me to be self-taught in many new applications/skills.
  • I’m never afraid to challenge processes in search of a better, more efficient way.
  • I take pride in completed work – dissatisfied unless a task is completed with excellence.
  • It seems like I’m the one who is always handed the big report to proofread!
