"Throughout my career, I've held the belief that more can be done in a team-based atmosphere. Even when working with bullheaded leaders who want to do things on their own instead of working with others, I think I bring a great deal of experience in convincing these leaders to be part of a greater team. The skilled teams that I've been a part of knew each other's strengths and weaknesses well. Because of this, I like to use fun ice breakers and activities to promote laughter and conversation at the start of meetings about new projects. I also promote and discuss the importance of open lines of communication, and I stress that team members pick up the phone or send an email to always be in communication on progress made or questions that need to be asked."
