A natural networker, I enjoy collaborating with revved up, forward-focused leaders who know where they’re going next. As a detailed-oriented planner adept in social media technology and databases (Salesforce.com, Microsoft Sequel Server and Oracle), I have a passion for utilizing technology to help the private and social sector alike achieve their goals.
