HOW I COMMUNICATE:

I prefer to ask a lot of questions before starting on a project or task to make sure I have clarity on what needs to be done/accomplished. I excel in situations where strong relationships are created and prefer a phone-call when solving a problem that needs further explanation.

HOW I PREFER TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK:

I prefer to receive feedback over Zoom or a phone call. I’d prefer not to receive substantial feedback via Slack, email, or text. I value sincerity and forthrightness when someone is giving me feedback.

Please be straightforward.

Let me know the severity of the problem and how I can resolve the issue.

WORKING STYLE:

If my client has the details worked out I would prefer straightforward instructions, but am also more than happy to help my client manage their priorities.

I see big picture and am able to plan out the details that fall below in order to create a process in achieving the big picture goals/visions.

Being highly attentive to detail, I strive for accuracy and consistency in my daily individual performance, team contributions, and task completion. I enjoy offering help to individuals who have high-level workloads and limited capacity.
