Summary

Organized and efficient, as well as able to work both independently, and as part of a group. Within group settings, I strive for efficiency, delegation and understanding of the needs of the group and the project or work being done. When working independently, I strive for quality and efficiency, while also maintaining high productivity. My strengths include learning new systems quickly, troubleshooting systems issues and creating or updating processes. I have worked on several projects at various stages, including user testing and troubleshooting. I have also trained others in both systems and processes required.
