About Me
- Who am I?
To paint a picture: I am a person with large ideas. It is not uncommon for me to be sent into a creative frenzy and end up with several pages of some new story, idea or project. I’m not the type to walk into work without a smile on my face. I get a creative rush from talking to people and creating stories from their experiences.
On the other side of the coin, I’m a serious worker who likes to do a great job in anything I produce. I’m a detail-oriented analyst. I am also extremely independent, in that I love problem-solving on my own; however, I am a team-player that likes to lead and inspire others through my work.
