Ross Freeman Levin’s Summary

Marketing & Project Management

My most fulfilling work is relationship building: client satisfaction is my business. I excel at establishing clear communication and transparent work flow between team members and clients. My dialog with project principals creates a shared vision of the completed work and how it integrates with existing systems or future programs. Attention to detail and creative enthusiasm are my best attributes. I invite constructive criticism and encourage people to deliver their best work on time.

My employment background is in retail and service management primarily in food service and retail sales. Event planning and management were highlights of my time at the University of Oregon including booking lectures by authors Jim Carrol and Norman Solomon, and stage managing for an outdoor music festival featuring Ani DiFranco.

Trade shows are a necessary evil which I endure with a grimace on my face and martini in hand.
