SUMMARY:

My specialty is cutting costs and streamlining processes to maximum efficiency. Working with foreign currencies and executive management is second nature to me as well. I thrive in anarchy because I know what it takes to get to the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a real interest in technology, human resources and overall helping a company achieve their initiatives to reach their goals. I make contacts and friends quickly and have been able to leverage those relationships in order to assist companies in receiving what is necessary to reduce costs. I work as a resource for companies across departments because we are all working for the same outcome.
