Summary
Hardworking, motivated 51-year-old male embarking on a complete life transition. Central to this transition is my returning to university to pursue a course of study in which I have great interest: a degree in Global Studies/Geography via Bemidji State University's online degree program. And professionally, although I have considerable experience with pet care, delivery driving, general labor, and writing/editing, I now endeavor to broaden my skillset and experience by moving beyond my former niche areas while not excluding them entirely.
