Career Break

From 2017 to 2024, I stepped away from the formal workforce to homeschool my children full-time. This period deepened my skills in curriculum planning, conflict resolution, leadership, and multi-tasking—all of which directly support success in HR and administrative roles. I remained engaged with industry best practices and am excited to return to a professional setting.
