Professional Summary

I have the ability to deal with ambiguity, think critically, solve problems, improve processes, and address or decide complex issues utilizing a clear, thoughtful approach to come to resolution quickly.  I can assimilate myself into any environment providing excellent customer service, superior relationship building, dependability, while all along streamlining efficiencies and working towards the goals of the organization. I can be entrusted with difficult, long-term assignments, completing all projects in a thorough and efficient manner. I can manage many tasks at one time with a high degree of accuracy professionally and respecting confidentiality. I have the ability to respond to challenges and succeed across a wide range of businesses and environments. 

Recently I managed eight business units across New Jersey encompassing 16 leaders and nearly 200 employees.  I received accolades for reducing staffing efficiencies to increase EBITDA significantly. 

During three of my positions, I have increased enrollment significantly in a very short timeframe. Under one year, I have been instrumental at adding over 340 new students, increasing enrollment between 34 and 70 percent. No task is too daunting or too difficult; as I welcome new concepts and challenges.  Years ago, I started a Facebook group calling “Neighbors Helping Neighbors, Montgomery NJ” to create a network in my local community under a pay-it-forward concept. I have raised over $6,000 funds for local teachers, collected 60 coats for Loaves and Fishes, held an art contest and paid off $1,500 in overdue lunch accounts for lower income families with the help of over 2,000 members.

I am very confident that I can effectively and efficiently assist your organization in achieving their strategic goals while working with all internal and external partners with the upmost professionalism and maturity.
