ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I enjoy organizing, planning and working with people that have common goals. Adding to my current job skills is very important to me as well as feeling that I add to the team. Quality time is something I hold in high regard. In my time away from work, I love to walk, garden, scrapbook, camp, swim, bake and do projects in and around my home and community. I love to travel, doing research prior to going.
