Summary

I have made a career out of being a creative problem-solver who thinks on her feet — I have applied this skill in various ways, from audiobook and TV production to my work as a nanny and family assistant. I am a caretaker who anticipates the needs of those around me while ultimately working to accomplish the goal at hand. I am excited to apply my skills in the health, wellness, and self-development space.
