You may be wondering why there is a carnival picture on my homepage. Well, that image holds a special connection to my very first job at an amusement park when I was just 15 years old. I absolutely loved it!  I was part of the entertainment department where I dressed up in costume characters and performed on center stage along with being a puppeteer and working the marionette booth with famed celebrities like Dolly Parton, Madonna, Willy and more. It was my responsibility to ensure that the puppets and marionettes were operating on time and on schedule. This was critical to the operation of the park as we needed to make sure that all the guests were happy and having a good time. The park rides also needed to be inspected and safe for operation by the mechanics, and all the buildings, benches, and even puppets had to be clean and sparkling.

Reflecting upon my career spanning over 20 years, I now realize that the foundational experiences from my time at the amusement park have greatly contributed to my professional growth. Moreover, I prioritize delivering projects on time, within budget, and at the highest quality possible, delivering value to the customer.

In times of chaos and confusion, I see myself as a leader who can maintain clarity and focus on solving problems efficiently. I approach each situation with critical thinking and use my skills to move forward swiftly, much like a roller coaster moving at high speeds, but always staying on track.
