Employment Search

For prospective employers:

I am seeking a project-oriented position that will expand my current skills and offer new learning challenges.

My search is for a position within a philanthropy-oriented organization, association, foundation or charity. This also includes the sciences, medicine and education.

In this pursuit, the overall mission of the organization is equally as important as a suitable match of my current skills and growth potential. An ideal pairing would include an emphasis on the importance of positive work - life balance.
