Summary
For the past nine years I have been a Stay-at-Home Mother. During this time away from the work force, I have homeschooled my three children, managed our household, and helped to establish a new local non-profit organization. My next pursuit is to develop my work career. I am a driven individual with a unique skill set acquired through my formal education, work, volunteer, and home educator experiences.
