School District of Palm Beach County, Florida

Stay at home mom/homemaker
11.1998 - 08.2023
Spent twenty-five years parenting my children, as well as running my home.
During the time at home, I educated my children at home.
Volunteered in various homeschooling groups, served as a board member, and networked with other parents to facilitate group outings, classes, and activities.
In addition, for the last 13 years, I have acted as the sole caregiver for my ailing parents until they passed away.
I advocated for their needs, handled all appointments, cleaned, prepped meals, did lots of heavy lifting to get them around, as they were disabled.
All of that required many organizational skills and focus to get everything handled in a timely manner.
