Improvisation in all I do

My practiced ability to improvise helps me excel!

I’m very good at quickly assessing a situation, using whatever’s at hand to find a solution, and taking decisive action under pressure. It doesn’t matter if the challenge is artistic, administrative, or technical, I’m a professional problem solver and a general party maker.

and now, the mandatory “about me” section
