I am a diversified self-starter with extensive experience in construction, office management, and project coordination. I’ve held several positions as an Office Manager. My previous experience also includes working at the NASA Glenn Research Center for ten years.

I am a proactive, "take-charge" professional with a varied background in office management and administrative support. I work effectively in a fast-paced environment and consistently prioritize tasks and meet deadlines. I have excellent interpersonal skills, initiative, attention to detail, and follow-through skills and am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, and Timberline Accounting software.
