Across numerous positions, I’ve shown an ability to combine creativity with dedication and diligence, achieving
significant outcomes with limited resources. Often, I’ve been tasked to work alone, or as a member of a small team to
achieve big results with limited time and financial support. The results have been outsize in their impact and lasting in
their impressions. I bring this iterative approach to every project and priority, including yours.
