What I Like Most About My Career: No two days are the same.

What Sets My Experience Apart: Having a creative personality (and degree) in an often cut and dry field like government gives me a unique perspective on challenges that arise. Creative personalities are often emotionally in-tune and can come to a resolution that meets the needs of the organization and the residents it serves.
