Summary: I thrive on challenges and I am looking for part-time work, from home, that uses my unique combination of skills and experience. With 22+ years experience in Air Traffic Control, I have a strong customer service background. I am detailed oriented, and have a record of being able to multi-task in a fast paced environment. I constantly look for ways to increase efficiency and effectiveness. 

I have handled confidential and sensitive material. I cultivated interpersonal relationships with management, employees, customers, as well as with Senators and Congressmen. I used team building and brain storming, strengthened interpersonal communication, and practiced interest based bargaining. I have completed the FAA's "Partnership Challenge Course" for improving working relationships between Management and Unions. 

I have excellent computer skills, am familiar with numerous types of software, and am adept at learning new programs. I maintain proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit and SketchUp by working on projects at home. I am currently working on a new classroom building for a Bible School in Nigeria.

Objective: After retirement I returned to school for drafting and design, using AutoCAD, Revit and SketchUp. I am now looking to stimulate my creativity and use some of the skills I developed in a high-stress occupation and since retiring. In addition to being motivated and dedicated, I can be an asset to any company seeking to increase productivity and efficiency.

Salary: Seeking fair compensation for services, with a preference for creativity incentives.
