Summary

I have done many different types of work throughout my life span. I am willing and learn new skills when chances are given to me. I love helping people of all ages.

At this time, I would like to learn to drive school bus. I enjoy traveling and I don't mind driving long distance.

I have driven 48 feet truck for moving to different state. If school needs Substitute teacher, I can also accommodate during spare time when I'm not driving the bus.
