Anna Fay Shallenberger’s Summary

My professional background deals with information -- the broad spectrum from gathering, synthesis, analysis and knowledge management. It hasn't been a straight line -- nor do I remain one place. What really intrigues me is problem solving. Information can be the end -- or it can be the means.

I possess an unusual mix of skills and interests. While I am exceptionally goal oriented and can be very competitive -- I am above all things a team player and service focused.

I don't necessarily feel the need for titles & hoopla -- but I do expect my contribution to be appreciated and to be compensated accordingly. I am fortunate to currently work in a great team environment with interesting, knowledgable colleagues. Plus telecommuting is great! I love the flexibility. I split my time between NYC; St Louis, MO; Portland, OR and New Orleans, LA.
