Skills
Technical: Writing, editing, and voicing stories. Interviewing guests in a relaxed
manner more likely to result in revealing and interesting discussions…I listen. Well
versed in using social media to assist in getting out the message. Never missed a
deadline.
Interpersonal: Easy to get along with, eager to work with other team members, and
able to stay calm during stressful situations. I love the whole concept of working
together as a team and rejoicing with other team members after successful
accomplishments.
Other: A good people person able to recognize others’ strengths and putting them in a
position to succeed. Sensitive to others’ weaknesses and ready to assist and instruct so
that they can be overcome.
Hobbies and Interests
I love people and getting to know more about them and helping them when they need it
gives me more joy than just about anything else. I have served as master of ceremonies
or auctioneer at countless charity events helping raise millions of dollars in the process.
I enjoy reading and learning all about new things as well as all the things going on in
our ever-changing world.
