Summary

Caring for people has always been my primary concern, as you can see, my experiences have been "people focused."

I am looking forward to entering the job market as my husband retires. This was a primary focus as I returned to school to enhance my skills.

I am reliable and upbeat and feel I would be an asset to any employer. I enjoy learning and new experiences and opportunities.
