I have always worked with people + in sales, in project management, in creating solutions and action plans. Several initiatives that I've fostered have succeeded in Over-the-Rhine near where I live, and they can be replicated in other neighborhoods throughout the city. I bring to City Council 30 years of real-world experience and expertise in developing relationships and improving the bottom line with integrity and strategic planning.
Allow me to share a few of these accomplishments and professional positions:
