Summary

I am a mom of 3 teenage boys. I am trustworthy and a conscientious employee. I have worked since the age of 15 as Respite provider and fill in secretary for Easter Seals, had 2 food industry/service jobs and was a telemarketer for Resash home improvements. While in college I was a student supervisor at the educational resource center which entailed data collection and entry along with the responsible for daily operations.

I have been involved in the special education field since high school. Helping care for my handicapped brother, working Respite for Easter Seals then graduating with a BS in Education (MD/DH) and continued to get a Masters in Early Childhood Spec Ed.

I had been actively teaching in the classroom from 1993 to 2019, when I resigned my position to care for my son who had stage 5 kidney disease and later had a transplant. Now I am ready to return to work and seeking a new adventure.
