Summary
I have held down a variety of jobs at different intervals in my life. Starting with McDonald’s in my teenage years, since then I’ve done computer/paper, office, factory, and mill work. My work history being at intervals is only due to my responsibilities of motherhood. Because being a mother of a home since 2014, going on with three children currently, plus one bonus, at times my partner provided financial stability while I took care of the home front. It wasn’t ever choosing not to work, but to focus all my work on my family. So naturally busy is my default and it’s how I approach my work life, as well. I take care of business and have good referrals to exemplify my hard-working, on-top-of-it nature. Scheduling is a non-issue as dealing with the schedule of a household of six for a decade plus I am proficient at staying on top of it. All of that being said, I am a diligent individual striving for success and would be an asset to any team.
