Work History

Portland, Oregon
03.2020 - Current

I have not taken on paid projects in the past 1+ years due COVID restrictions and obligations to take care of my aging parents. I have kept current of accounting rules and market/ business trends. I have volunteered many hours working for various charitable organizations. I lost one parent, then I gained my first ever grandchild in May 2021. This is the longest time I have been not working in my history, so I am very rested up and ready to go!
