Identify and address changing priorities in dynamic environments. And a healthy dose of 'bla bla bla', meaning "organise the chaos and make it work." I credit myself with the ability to know what needs to be done and when, but not necessarily the skill to do it myself. Dual Australian and United States citizenship. Vietnam residency.
