♦ Profile
I am a solid, dedicated employee who is skilled in assessing the business needs and providing valuable analyses and
recommendations for business strategy. As a motivated, self-starter, I am well versed in a wide variety of systems and tools,
and seek ways to improve efficiency in data preparation, allowing greater focus to be placed on analysis. Establishing and
maintaining good working relationships across multiple sites are a strength I possess and am comfortable in a small setting or
presenting to a large group. I am seeking a secure organization that can utilize my vast knowledge base and years of
experience as well as provide an environment in which I can continue to grow.
