Alex Evans’s Summary
For the past ten years I have been the Technology Coordinator for the Colusa County Office of Education. I am very happy and thankful to be in such an interesting position. I strive to be the best at everything I attempt and so far I feel that I have met all of my goals. I am at the top position within the Colusa County Office of Education and its school districts in Information Technology. I feel that it is now time for me to pursue a career managing as either an IT Director or a Chief Technology Officer.
Alex Evans’s Specialties:
My best asset is my ability to work well with other people. I can be a great team player or I can be the team leader. I am good at managing workloads, deadlines and building moral. I serve as a good mediator during conflict. One of my biggest strengths and one that helps with these other skills, is that I have a good sense of humor. I feel that being able to learn and navigate through a world of acronyms requires a little humor and helps with good team building.
