Summary
With being a 20 plus business owner of a small retail store and a stay at home home my skills with self motivation and attention to detail are excellent! I'm extremely good with interacting with customers, upselling, and problem solving.
Homeschooling all my kids to college level has honed my abilities to lead, guide, and encourage others with positive and uplifting attitude. Being optimistic and finding the beauty and opportunity in each day is daily goal each morning.
