About
I'm proud to say that I am no expert; my experience shows that I have done many different jobs, and played many roles. Where you might see someone who lacks focus or doesn't know what they want to do, what lies beneath is my desire to know more than one skill or one field. I gained experience in areas that would help me lead, plan and do; my goal, always, to know more and be capable of leading. I now have a breadth of skills that allows me to effectively build and lead a team of talented individuals in a wide range of digital projects.
