Management Experience
While still a student I had the opportunity to help out with bookkeeping at friends' family businesses. Just ourt of school, I worked my way up from supervisory to management positions in small companies.Regarding management, for me, it's a been there, done that. I have no interest in managment other than great respect for others working in those roles. I chose to branch out into more hands-on functions to work directly with technical people, engineers, designers, and developers. I have found a niche, in engineering, manufacturing, and IT. I enjoy communicating state of the art technologies to any audience to fulfill their needs and gain great satisfaction doing so.
