Accomplishments

The 6 years I spent at Payless Cashways taught me how to use a planagram to set up shelves and product. I loved getting to know customers by name, and helping them get the supplies they needed. I put in special orders for contractors, and set up deliveries.

The years I spent working in Pet stores was irreplaceable. I enjoyed taking care of the animal's needs, and I enjoyed the challenge of getting exhibits clean before customers began coming in daily. I also enjoyed educating customers about which things would make there pets thrive.

My health has struggled over the years. Last summer, July 2024, I had a surgery that should put me in much better health.

Life fulfillment through my faith and helping others.

I like to be active with my church and help the unsheltered find necessities for their well being. I also enjoy working with my four rescue dogs.  I enjoy working as a part of a team and I would like to get into retail sales after a long career in counseling.
