Creative Thinker with Strong Management and Communication Skills

I am an experienced professional looking to return back to the workforce. I am very interested in utilizing all my strengths towards a growing new career. I have always been a hands-on person. The experience I gained running my own Art School and organizing and working on many fundraisers, such as the yearly Book Fair, at my children’s school only adds to the many years I worked in upper management. As a professional in New York City I worked 16 years as an account executive. On a daily basis I managed projects for top professionals in Advertising and Fortune 500 corporations, such as Lever Brothers, Compaq Computers and Liz Claiborne. I oversaw all retouching and production and worked directly with clients on proof and press approvals. I am known for my ability to think and solve problems creatively. I work very well under pressure and have very strong organizational skills. I successfully ran projects from start to finish with extremely tight deadlines and very large monetary liabilities. My range of abilities is vast from company director to overseeing production to managing a team to creative development and most of all to being a team player. I have never failed to advance in any company I have worked for. Presently I work as an artist and art teacher. I opened and ran an art school for children, Studio an Art Place for Kids. This involved group and private lessons as well as birthday parties and non-profit events. I am great with people, an extremely diligent worker and a fast learner; I have rarely taken on any task that I haven’t completed successfully.
