Marie Simms
Southlake,TX
Summary
After graduating with a banking degree in my native country of Switzerland, I worked in that industry for several years before headed to the United States to work on a Master's degree in International Business.
This degree allowed me to open my own business which offered flexibility. My business became successful, but I decided to close it down and dedicate my whole attention to my four children.
Now that my children are older and more autonomous, I am looking to reenter the workforce. Even though I have not worked in a few years, I am a very detail oriented, fast learning individual who can no doubt bring a lot to your company.
