Summary
Hardworking employee with a proven ability to get things done, attention to detail, self motivation, and a can do approach to whatever needs doing. With my time in the classroom, homeschooling my own children for nearly two decades, and my experience as a small business owner, I understand what it takes to stay on task and own something until it gets done correctly and on time. I'm eager to learn and contribute to a team that's working together to serve students.
