Summary

Working with the elder population was very rewarding in many ways, especially having been honored to be able to walk them "home" to Jesus.

Working as a Director of South Bay was very rewarding and dear to my heart because I have been in recovery from alcoholic for many years and know the battles they are facing.

Additional Information

I am a 58 year old lover of Christ, wife and mother. I am a compassionate, empathetic and responsible women seeking employment in Waters Academy in some capacity. Not only has my walk with Christ increased mightily since attending Waters Church, but my families walk as well. The first time coming through the doors at Waters Church immediately I felt at home. The warmth and love of Jesus was overflowing. I knew from that moment waters was our home. I have grown so much in my faith since first attending that I want to be a part the ground braking beginnings of Waters Academy. My heart cries out to The Lord for the way schools are teaching our children. I want to work at Waters Academy to help give our children a strong foundation in Jesus. I have always been a caregiver by nature and feel most fulfilled when I am serving others. This is my calling and I am excited to see what position The Lord will place me in. My background is Marriage and Family Therapy but I am also excited to see what other positions you have available. Assistant, secretary, counselor, etc..My prayer is for God to utilize me where he wants me to be at Waters Academy.

God Bless
