I have known Skipp as an educator, an events manager and as an educational coordinator. He remains calm and maintains focus while resolving issues of scheduling, planning, conflict resolution and forecasting. As well, I have had the pleasure of working with him and an educational peer. In my experience, he excels in his primary duties through attention to detail and diligence. He draws upon his extensive experience and continuous professional upgrading through degrees and certifications to add value to teams through steadfast leadership and offering considered alternatives.
