I really enjoy getting to learn new skills and diving into a “holistic” view of an organization. I like to know ‘how the sausage is made.’
I’m a voracious reader and will often fall down rabbit holes of information. I love the challenge of puzzling out the best methods to solve a problem, even if that means learning a new software or programming language.
Immersing myself in another culture and navigating the streets of unfamiliar places brings me joy. I have often traveled for work to such exotic locations as Las Vegas, Phoenix, Cleveland, and Indianapolis.
Personal travel has taken me all over the world. I’ve visited: Russia, Ireland, Nova Scotia, Iceland, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Morocco, the UK, Switzerland, Mexico, The US and British Virgin Islands, The Bahamas, Canada, Panama, The Dominican Republic, and each of the 48 contiguous United States.
I’m hoping to visit Southeast Asia in the near future.
I am not a fan of over-complicated processes. The more steps needed to complete a task, there exists more opportunities to inject errors and problems.
That 10,000 row Excel spreadsheet is probably best simplified into a relational database. I can build that.
I thrive in an environment where I can see a project all the way through. You need a new social media post? I’m likely to help with the concept, writing the copy, taking the photographs, researching the hashtags, and hitting “publish.”
I’m open to opportunities from free-lance to full-time employment. My preference is for remote or hybrid positions, but will consider in-office positions in the greater Kansas City area.
