I have developed the ability to analyze, evaluate and contextualize statistical information. I am a critical thinker, who problem solves, enjoys being innovative and creative. I have experience with group dynamics, managing relationships, and collaborating with a team, which is based on my five years of experience as a supervisor in a faced passed setting.
