I enjoy working in challenging environments where I get to contribute my initiative, creativity, passion, skills, and business acumen. With a self-directed nature that is balanced well with my ability to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, I can be a leader or a team player, when necessary. And whether I am selecting the best candidate for a job opening; rolling up my sleeves to iron out an executive's diary clashes; sitting in for the company President in a board meeting; or writing content for a website, I make sure the job "gets done and done right."
I have assisted four successful start-up companies (marketing and distribution company; recruitment firm; outsourcing/call center; and a McDonald's franchise) and was able to execute effectively during the early stages of the business until full operation. I also love to develop business ideas and have operated some small ventures myself.
Learning and self-development is an ongoing journey for me. I love the energy of entrepreneurs and like listening to other people's wisdom. And when faced with a difficult task, I make sensible decisions based on good principles.
