Professional SOS

I believe in the value of relationships and so I put myself on the table upfront, so that recruiters know what to expect from me in an interview or on the job. This "cover letter" is testimony to that fact.

I am a talented web developer and expert in social media, trained on best practices to meet rigorous web standards. I have worked in public higher education, the harshest environment imaginable for a designer, who must transcend stifling barriers to achieve high performance:

1. Multiple layers of an administrative hierarchy,
   
2. Strenuous accessibility requirements under Section 508,
   
3. Higher accessibility liability than any other industry.
   

Now I utilize these high standards in all of my work. So I am seeking a career as a project manager, so that I can pass on my best practices to clients through efficient, high quality solutions.

I also maintain strong moral integrity for myself, which drives me to interact with people in a way that is beneficial to myself, the client, and my represented company. I am tactful with my words and professional with my verbiage, making me an effective, honest communicator.

I often wonder how far I will go in a corporate setting because of that last characteristic: my honesty. In the business world, ethical behavior is often sacrificed for greedy misrepresentations. But that's a game I don't play and I'm unsure how my career may suffer because of it.
