Somewhere between childhood and my silver-streaked hair, I built a resume. You will hear me say, "Growth is not a sprint - it's a journey involving purposeful changes over time." A resume, in many ways, is a growth journey - a journey of professional roles. Yet, this resume is incomplete because it doesn't capture the full picture of an individual alongside and within the outline of factual experiences. My traditional resume - an incomplete puzzle - is below. I invite you to reach out so I can share all of the other bits and pieces and layers that will provide a comprehensive picture - a completed puzzle.
My CliftonStrengths Themes: Maximizer | Achiever | Activator | Individualization | Focus
