Accomplishments

Most of my accomplishments would be that almost every single job I started I've started at the bottom and always worked my self into a lead position or a management position clearly My proudest accomplishment outside of my kids would be the day that I watched 2 people be found guilty of neglegence and fraud a because of my drive to find the truth my mother was found deceased and the sheriff's department that was supposed to be investigating this completely dropped the ball on this if I'm being blunt and I had no closure and couldn't afford to hire anyone to look into this matter so I started investigating it myself and I tried on several occasions to bring new information to this case to the department that originally investigated it and they just would t listen so after numerous hours of research and speaking with doctors and the coroner as well as many other individuals and insurance companies I was able to get this case re opened and these criminals brought to justice and they were found guilty on all accounts.
