Summary

Ten years of research experience in neuroscience followed by two years of research at an executive search firm has allowed me to master time and project management, enhance my communication capabilities, and prove I can think critically to help solve problems. Both Kent State University and Kingsley Gate Partners allowed me to work independently and collaboratively, showing I can function dynamically within an organization. I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Now, as a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I am seeking an oppurtunity that blends my passion for root cause, functional health and medicine with professional challenges utilizing the interpersonal, problem solving and research skills I have developed over the years.
