Outstanding team leader with strong communication skills and capacity to motivate and encourage success.

A graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in Public Relations, I enjoyed opportunities right after college working as a scheduler in the Washington D.C. offices of Congressmen Bill Orton of Utah and Congressman Ron Kind of Wisconsin. I also worked for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in their Public Affairs Office in Washington, D.C. as a media relations specialist.
