Summary

I am a motivated working mother of two boys and an old pup. I take pride in my work ethic and providing for my kids. When I graduated from Animal Behavior College, I was managing a restaurant, raising my boys, and learned despite my degree being in canine obedience. As silly as it sounds, the practices I learned easily translated into training tiny humans, as well as adult humans. To this day, I use my education and training in all different ways. I may not have a master's degree in health and food safety, but I do have over 10 years of experience working in restaurants, food safety, and hospitality. I would absolutely love the opportunity to use my experience to learn and grow into a new role, joining a new team, and making an impact with a new company.
