Summary
To secure a job with Marriott.
I worked as a Special Education teacher for 5 years. Working closely with parents to provide flexible education for special needs students. I then became a stay at home mom when my son turned one. Once he reached school age I began homeschooling my children. I helped start a 501c3 homeschool co-op in 2001 and currently serve as secretary on the board. I have also worked closely with other parents to resolve disputes, plan events, and oversee the registration process from year to year. My husband is a Lifetime Platinum Marriott member and we have greatly enjoyed our stays at many locations. This has created a high level of brand loyalty.
