As a recruiter, a foreign language interpreter and a yoga instructor I have developed strong and dependable public speaking skills. Given a subject that I am familiar with, I am able to give an engaging verbal presentation to an audience of any size with very little preparation. I approach all tasks in a methodical manner while using my natural talent for organizing time and materials. I am constantly seeking higher proficiency in my work area and with my tools. By virtue of serving as a Sergeant in the US Marine Corps I have held positions of management over groups ranging from 3 to 30 individuals. I am adept at conducting skills training for small and large groups. I am accustomed to working under pressure. I am constantly striving to improve my skills in everything I do. I take pride of ownership in my work and I take the long view of educating myself in order to accomplish all goals and tasks set before me.
