In my leadership role I have blossomed into a strong leader. I am compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive, and advocate for my staff and the needs of my program. I have taught myself how to use Microsoft excel and been tracking my program data and creating spreadsheets for the past 2.5 years to stay organized and make reporting easier for my program. I am extremely comfortable learning innovative programs, technology and handling tough staff situations with staff. I am a quick learner and a very dedicated employee. In this role I have developed good working relationships with upper management and built community alliances at other agencies in the community. Show less
