Summary
Hello, just a little about me.... This is a little bit different job than i have ever done, but I talked to many of your employees and feel I would fit right in. Our kids are now both graduated and in college and I have a new freedom in life to pursue different things.
I married my husband in April 2005 and we have two late teenage daughters (both of whom are working at Wesco, proud mom here).
I love my current job (at Wesco) and have been very grateful for the opportunities I have had over the years. The flexibility they allow made it possible for me to put my kids first and not miss any field trips, band gigs, choir, robotics, drama, FFA, bowling, track, X-country meets or any other various school functions!
I am also very involved in 4H and have been a volunteer leader for about eight years. We attend two fairs every year where the kids show horses, pigs, chickens, rabbits, quail, pigeons and guinea pigs!
Thank you for taking the time to read through my application. I currently work 3rd shift and sleep until about 3:00pm. My phone does not allow for voicemail, so if I miss your call, please send me a text!
