Ambitions

  • I have owned my own house cleaning service for a little over ten years with multiple clients that are still with me. I have come to a crossroad where I must choose to expand myself and take on more cutomers or branch out into something else and I have always had a desire to work in the biohazard/crime scene cleanup sector of this industry. I would appreciate your consideration and know you will find me to be an exception addition to your business.
