Summary

I am a hard worker with 14 solid years with the same company. I have loved my job. The life and professional experience it has given me are irreplaceable. I feel working with people at some of their lowest points has not only given me compassion, but an ability to adjust to a large variety of situations. I am so ready to branch out and work with the public in a different capacity. A job at the college feels right and I believe now is the time to go for it.
