I possess excellent writing skills as well as the ability to pull seemingly unrelated things together into a comprehensive understanding. I have high executive functioning abilities with a particular strength in organizational and project management. Research is another of my strong suits. Better understanding society and the people who make it up are my passions. *I have successfully written several financial and medical need based grants. *I have the ability and level head to work on a team as well as the discipline and comfort to complete solo work. *I am able to asses what needs to be done and then carry that out without the need for constant oversight. *I am able to put people at ease in a way that allows them to share themselves with me easily in an interview. I completed a two year research project on Appalachia and its people and have a unique insight into the area and its dynamic. I am a well rounded individual who enjoys learning and growing as a person. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your project.
