Additional Information

After spending the last 12 years as a stay at home mom and homemaker, I am excited to re-enter the work force and utilize my organizational skills and be part of a fast paced team environment! As much as I've enjoyed being able to focus on my home and family, my son is now at an age where I am ready to get back to work, and I am looking forward to it!


I have over 15 years experience in office and hospitality settings, with strong clerical and customer service skills. I'm looking for a position where I can put these skills to use, and benefit co-workers and myself.
