Currently self-employed from a home office, due to recent changes in the economy, I am seeking employment with the right organization.  I have a keen interest in working with a dynamic, forward-looking company (e.g. environmental and social responsibility) which fosters a professionally-run yet friendly and flexible working environment.  I perform best in positions which require multi-tasking and a diversity of responsibilities.

I have a multifaceted 25-year employment background, am comfortable working with people of all ages, circumstances, and levels of technical expertise, and I want to make the most of that experience.
