• Strong ability to work diplomatically with different communication styles, personalities, and varying levels of accountability.
• Acute attention to detail.
• Outstanding writing, research, negotiating, interpersonal, and organizational skills.

• Creativity and innovation.
• Strong familiarity with basic Microsoft Office programs.
• Ability to meet deadlines effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
