years of professional experience
Although I have worked in the educational field for the past 23 years, prior to that I have experience working at Walmart, fast food's restaurants, and also worked at Hucks in Harrisburg, Illinois for just over a year approximately 40 years ago. I am a quick learner and enjoy learning new skills and having new experiences.
