I was a Project Manager and coordinator for Miele and was about to retire from that position. Rather then retiring I moved into the role of Property Manager, which I love because it allows me to use my project management skills in congruence with other skills and abilities I have developed. I have been in this role for the past 5 years.

I received a Bachelor's of Science degree in Business Administration in Management and Operations from Georgian Court College and my Professional Project Management Certification (PMP) from The Project Management Institute.

In property management I remotely manage some properties, however in Princeton I have to deal with men all day long. My challenge is being seen as a professional in a male dominated industry and profession. 

My strengths include my abilities to make decisions and to take quick action in solving problems. 

When I took the position of Property Manager, I was strong and able to put forth the value I added to the position and what I could bring to the table. There were a lot of men who wanted the position and it went to me.

My short term goal is to obtain more training from The International Association of Professional Facilitators. I am planning workshops, and down the road I want to start a Facilitator Company to create active listening and development within companies, in order for them to plan workshops and meetings.

My boss is involved in ensuring training through a consultant. I need to gain more experience with larger workshops and get more certifications. Then I will need to build my client base and do more networking.

What inspires me is my love of learning new things and my quest for knowledge. As a facilitator, I am inspired to become an agent of change and cultivate collaboration within companies.

I would want to be remembered as a woman who, despite health and physical setbacks, was always helpful and kind to others.
