Additional Information

My family and I moved back to Medford to help and care for my father. My mother died February 2010. I was commuting from Redmond Oregon to Medford Oregon twice a month to help my dad with the finances involved with running his ranch, itemizing for tax purposes, preparing his taxes as well as daily tasks in the house and on the property. I spent most of the summer of 2013 in Medford assisting my dad. I started to notice my dad was experiencing higher levels of anxiety and over stressing thing that normally would not have been an issue. My husband and i decided to move back to Medford Oregon to be closer to my dad. My husband is a special education teacher and he gained employment at Scenic Middle School. I also worked at Harry and David's during seasonal work as well as managing my dads affaires. In 2016, my dad had a trust made and I became power of attorney for his estate. In the fall of 2018 My dad was tested and diagnosed with Alzheimer's. His wish was to remain in his home so my husband and I kept the property running as well as giving my dad fulltime care. My Father passed away on June 6th of 2023, at that point I became the Trustee of the estate until it sold on May 29th of 2024.

After this long absence from public employment I am currently seeking employment to supplement my family's income.
