EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Summary

I have more than years of direct recreation experience in a variety of settings. I have created and managed individual programs progressively taking on more responsibility until I spent time as the Director of an entire recreation site. Additionally, I have nearly three years as the Executive Director of a long term care facility where I envisioned creation of a recreation program and mentored staff in the creation of it. I have a strong sense of responsible financial stewardship and one of my strongest skills is my ability to create positive interpersonal communication with those around me.
