Strategic Organizational Specialist

I am a Business Architect with solid knowledge and experience with all the moving pieces in technology and business processes. My particular strengths are communications, data flow, and troubleshooting. I get genuine satisfaction from writing clear, comprehensive, useful documentation.

I am comfortable speaking or presenting in front of VIPs, and I have a particular knack for bridging the language gap between business and technology folks. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and with different life experiences.
