Affiliations

  • Over the last sixteen years, I have also been raising my children, which accounts for the gaps in employment. During that time, I have worked from home doing data input, volunteering at school, church, Meals On Wheels, and running the social committee in our neighborhood. I've become astute in attention to detail and the ability to multi-task. My children are growing up and becoming more independent, giving me the opportunity to re-enter the work force.
