Summary

I made a deliberate choice to prioritize family life as a stay-at-home mom, providing unwavering support to our three children throughout their school years. During this time, I actively participated in my husband’s business, spearheading administrative and bookkeeping tasks during our transition from employee roles to subcontracting our services. My versatility extended to assisting with construction cleans, and I further honed my skills in maintaining and safeguarding homeowners’ properties when they were away for the season. Amid the challenges posed by the pandemic, I seized an opportunity to contribute my dedication and skills to the Inn, and my role evolved into a full-time position.
