SAN DIEGO,California
Summary
As a family we have recently moved to Carmel Valley, San Diego and we absolutely love it! I am looking for my next grand opportunity!
Who I identify as is a mom, wife, daughter and friend and who I really am is an individual who loves all that life has to offer! I look for people, places and things that bring me joy, therefore I find myself often, if not always, inspired by the beauty in nature.
As I see my present life unfold, I'm excited to take on a new chapter where I can discover more of who I am. The professional skills that I have developed along the way have served me tremendously. Skills like problem solving and being an out-of-the-box thinker and a self starter have been a place where I come from and it has indeed served it's purpose. Now, I would love the opportunity to pair that with my passion for health and well being and in turn help others realize their goals and desires within that construct. To work in an environment where I can grow and expand personally is my intention and I am looking forward to finding it within your organization.
