Summary

I have had varied employment, the most significant as a Physical Therapist Assistant, a very satisfying and rewarding career. Though I fully intended to return, taking care of my mom took precedence, and my license had lapsed. I am in an era of wanting to return to work in a fun, yet continually demanding setting.


I have worked at 7-11, and a small "Mom and Pop" store, and greatly enjoyed working with the public. I still organize shelves at my local pharmacy, and rehang clothes that have fallen off their hooks. I like bringing order and harmony to chaos.
