Brandi Kasner
Summary
I quit my previous job of six years (Special Education Early Childhood) to home school my three children. I am looking for something to supplement some income while still teaching my children.
I worked in retail management for many years from 1996-2004. I worked at Old Navy as a cashier and shipment receiver. I began working at Big 5 Sporting Goods as a supervisor and moved up 3 levels to second assistant manager. I turned down another promotion to first assistant manager when my husband and I were moving out of state.
