Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.

Accomplishments

I am very ambitious and hard working. I work great in a team setting or alone. I have great people skills and problem solving skills. I have just recently moved to Idaho Falls from the Burley area to start over as a single mom of 3 after escaping a 13 year domestic violence situation. I am actually very proud of myself. We have found our own place, bought a vehicle outright and now just need steady employment to be the last puzzle piece. I unfortunately have a past and I am not proud of some of my mistakes and choices but my past is not who I truly am as a person and I have worked hard to heal and no longer be the person I had to become in order to survive my situation. I am doing my absolute best to be the best version of myself in order to provide a healthy and happy life with integrity and maturity for myself and my children.
