Skills / Knowledge


I wish I could say all of the skills listed below are up-to-date and at a professional level, unfortunately that is not the case. Some of them I am a little rusty on, and some of them are fairly new, but I did not put anything on here that I do not believe I could take on professionally (e.g., I have done a little bit of coding in JAVA, but do not feel confident in my ability to hit the ground “running” if it was an important job function at a new job). This is also definitely not an exhaustive list so I will be adding more as things come to mind.
