"It's absolutely perfect . . . but it'll have to do."

It all began in 1987
Providence Hospital offered me a position in the Emergency Room Admitting Department and I found myself immediately immersed into a fast paced whirlwind of high expectations. There was no room for drama, inaccurate documentation, or lack of speed... and I loved every minute of it! I loved helping people, and I was grateful for the opportunity to witness such sensitivity, compassion, and team support in the workplace. This also happened to be the dawn of the computer age and I jumped in head first - committed to learning everything I could get my hands on. I look back now and realize that I owe the majority of my present talents and dedication to the lessons I learned during those crazy days and nights in the ER. I'm grateful where it's led me, into this fulfilling career I have today of sharing what I've learned and helping others succeed.

Ten years later in 1997

I jumped on an opportunity to switch gears and gain more experience with all things web and programming related. I went back to school and spent a few years at Intermec as a web courseware designer and custom reports developer. I dedicated my focus on every aspect of programming, web development, project management, IT support, business and technical writing.

FAst forward to 2012

A few companies and many experiences later, when I was asked to revive a dwindling local non-profit organization. I welcomed the opportunity, rallied a new board team, facilitated the revision of the by-laws, and successfully re-launched its tri-annual sponsored educational dinner events with full membership attendance. This organization is now thriving full force. I have since worked with several other charity organizations and other non-profits . . . one opportunity always leading to another. Today, working with small businesses, non-profits and charity organizations--helping them succeed, and witnessing their customers, clients, members and recipients benefiting from the process has been the most rewarding aspect of my professional life to date.
