Embroidery Machine Operator
For the past 3 years, I have been fortunate to stay home with my child. During this time, I took up a new hobby and taught myself the art of embroidery. My hard work and determination eventually led me to start my own embroidery business. Although I greatly enjoyed this endeavor, my true passion has always been nursing. Now that my child is enrolled in reliable full-time daycare, I feel confident in resuming my nursing career.
