Midwestern values blended with Latin American culture;
Rooted in hard work, kindness, and Northern grit; Seasoned by time on the road.
While my career experience incorporates a wide breadth of industries, regions, and roles, I consistently hone specific skills in each role, focused on Project Management, Sustainable Development, Process Design & Improvement, and
Business Strategy Planning. |

Thus, in addition to flexibility, creative rapid problem solving, and keen resourcefulness, I have gained many different skills from each role. |
