Skills
Summary
Extensive graphic design, web design, education, and training experience, as well as customer service, retail, and call-center experience. Graphic Design, Adult Education, and Marketing & Advertising are my major skillsets. A position that would allow me to utilize some combination of those skills—in a variety of situations, addressing a variety of topics—is my ideal. An opportunity to explore a rewarding career in other areas, however, is always welcome. And while I prefer to focus my efforts on my existing skillset, I am open to a broad range of industries, as I readily acclimate to new fields of interest. My strongest "minor" skills are creative problem solving, adaption, troubleshooting, and an ability to learn and understand new topics, concepts, and tools/software very quickly. I have the patience of a saint, with a need for instant gratification, which means I will dedicate the time necessary to work effectively, productively, and thoroughly, while completing a task in as little time as possible. I work very well independently and up against deadlines. I also enjoy working as part of a team where roles and expectations are clearly defined, and am generally willing to engage in a supporting role to ensure the success of the effort, as a whole. In addition, I have strong leadership and managerial traits that allow me to direct and oversee small groups toward productive outcomes. I am also comfortable in classroom settings, coordinating and assisting up 30 individuals at various skill levels, simultaneously.
