EXPERIENCE
About
me
I'm very competitive, driven, organized, and creative. One thing I have that many others don't is a combination of creative as well as analytical skills that have really benefited me in my career. My employers have benefited as well, with demonstrated growth in every goal I focused on in the 10 years I worked at Go Daddy as well as each company since.
