Higher Education
Judith
Findora
Clarkston, Michigan
I am a global thinker, capable of juggling large amounts of information until the need to focus arrives. At that point, I often offer a unique perspective to a file along with solutions that really work. I thrive on challenge and enjoy working with people and information. I am pleased to say my plate is currently full and I am not accepting new accounts; however, past accounts will always receive a place at the table.
