DESCRIPTION
Something different for my 2013 job search. I dust off my PPT skills and take a stab at the visual resume. Suddenly, my professional life seems so much more exciting when I get to choose the font. I am a non-profit professional in Vancouver, Canada. My focus is community engagement, volunteer management, and sustainable communities, which I approach through communications and development roles.TRANSCRIPT
