About
I’ve built my career in a variety of roles and industries, but mostly in the construction/manufacturing industry where I was not just the admin but also gatekeeper, graphics whiz, bookkeeper and marketing guru. I’m not only used to wearing many hats, I enjoy it; I thrive in an environment where no two work days are exactly the same. In addition to being flexible and responsive, I’m also a fanatic for details. I believe in attention to detail matters in tasks as important as prepping materials for a top-level presentations and as mundane as making sure the printer never runs out of ink.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I have a degree in graphic design which has led me on my current career path as the Director of Marketing for a small construction business in Kansas City. I wear many hats because we are a small business. Therefore, not only am I the Director of Marketing, I am also the Logistics Manager and Accounting Manager. I am now seeking a Bachelors degree in Accounting to expand my career path.
