Intention
This resume is designed to give a brief overview of skills and education that I have undertaken over the past 20 years. In addition to the elements listed below, I have experienced and communicated with a vast amount of people on a professional level from students (domestic and international on behalf of Griffith University), lawyers, vendors, CEOs, Managers and other professionals. This communication skill has allowed me to assist this client base through out a multitude of projects, with varied time constraints.
As a firm believer in the requirement of learning and adaptation of new technologies, currently I am researching and mapping out elements of Office 365, such as flow, project, teams and stream to enhance the delivery of content to students to ensure that they learn and understand all material supplied to them. This desire to continue to learn and adapt, I believe, would make me a valuable asset to any position.
