Throughout my career I was seen as a change agent with a great deal of practical and technical experience who worked with the principles of mutual respect for cultural and ethnic diversity working for the good of society.  I valued (and still do) autonomy, justice, self-determination, fairness, diversity, benevolence, advocacy and veracity while maintaining transparent ethics for the public good.
