SUMMARY

As a SharePoint Portal Administrator I have held the position as Business Systems Analyst with an eye on solving collaborative challenges that are inherent between an organization’s functional groups.

With an ardent desire to leverage the rapid prototyping capabilities of MOSS, I enjoy discovering the gain in efficiency that is produced in developing build to order solutions.  I take satisfaction in lending my analytical and interpersonal communication skills to synthesize business processes that can be received and understood among varied work groups.

As a whole I continue to be engaged and contribute to the growing number of SharePoint Bloggers and User Groups; and fully leverage the community’s exchange of ideas and shared solutions.
