Summary

I enjoyed a 34 year career with the Internal Revenue Service, retiring in January of 2020.

My intrapersonal skills combined with my education and desire for higher achievement allowed me to fulfill all my aspirations & goals.


I have been enjoying my retirement these past four years while building our forever home. With my husband working out of the country for months at a time, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am ready to get back into the work force, where I can meet new people, give back to my community, and enjoy doing something new and exciting.
