I am a former Project Manager, Business Analyst, IT Technician, Public Relations Profession and Journalist looking to make a career change. I seek an opportunity to leverage my varied and powerful skill set to provide a positive contribution to my community and the world at large.
Key Skills
• My fifteen years in project management give me the ability to lead initiatives from start to successful completion through:
• Leadership
• Facilitation
• Coordination of complex tasks
• Supervision and Motivation of involved parties to complete their tasks on-time and on-budget, frequently in competition with other assigned duties.
• A willingness to lead by example, to dig in and do the dirty tasks as required when there was no one else to do them.
• Because of my background in journalism and public relations, I have superior verbal and written communication skills, which I leveraged to succeed in my successor endeavors.
• The ability to work with, communicate effectively and manage relationships with individuals from the most senior organizational levels down to the cubicle, line-worker level.
• Coordination and facilitation of events of all sorts, from a 30 minute press conference, a three day requirements gathering session, or a three-year, multi-million dollar project.
• Review and manage contracts and third-party vendors, including resolution of problems arising out of every imaginable condition.
• Exceptional problem solving abilities developed in the IT world and appicable to solving business and technical issues.
• Proficiency in a wide-range of computer applications necessary to communication, management and analysis.
• Proven ability to transition to new situations through my evolution from journalism/PR through IT and into business and IT management, and the various positions I have held in each role.
• Both quick-study ability, combined with committed deep-dive learning that enabled me to make these transitions.
