NEW BEGINNINGS FOR A NEW YEAR

Friday, December 28th, 2007

In December 2007, I was appointed as the new Executive Director for the Academy of Board Certified Environmental Professionals (ABCEP).  I humbly accepted the position with great excitement and enthusiasm.  As the Executive Director, I plan to continue the professional image that has already been established as well as institute new and more innovated ways.   I believe that my 21 years of State service working in Government for the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) would be an asset to this position.  I currently serve as the Executive Assistant to MDE’s Assistant Secretary.  This position requires working directly with both MDE and the Governor’s Executive Staff.  This position also requires frequent contact with other cabinet level officials, Maryland State Legislators and stakeholders.  I also serve as liaison between the Assistant Secretary and all of the Administrations that report directly to him.  For many years, I assisted in staffing the Governor appointed Environmental Justice & Sustainable Community Commission formerly the Environmental Justice Advisory Committee and was known as the go-to-person for both.  The Executive Assistant position requires wearing many hats on any given day.  Flexibility, organization, and professionalism as well as outstanding customer service are critical. 

My attention to detail as well as organizational skills that I use in my Event Planning buisness,  NaeDay Productions, LLC should also be intrustmental in this position.

Like everything in life, we don’t get there alone.  I have been blessed and fortunate to have family and friends that have been very supportive in assisting me reach these goals and milestone.

I am looking forward to what 2008 has for me.
