Work History

5 Years
TPS Jennifer Pense/Heard | 10.2017 - 10.2022
The gap in employment after this position was due to health issues. Then, my mother developed lung cancer and my family supported me as I was her full time caregiver until she passed away last September.

The principal had to transfer the newest hired teacher to Skelly in October because they had many more students enrolled there.

TPS Marty McCain and Brad Griffin | 08.2001 - 05.2013
In the employment gap years from Jones to Grimes, I had some health issues, as did my mother, and was on FMLA. When I got better, I began volunteering at the DVIS and Family Safety Center downtown in the childrens room and also was an Advocate for clients needing to fill our emergency protective orders, so I worked with the attorneys there, police, and counselors.
