Reason for not working in so many years
I’m a survivor of domestic abuse who spent many years as the stay at home parent of my special needs daughter. I’m now at a place where I’m freshly available to re-enter the workforce with an optimistic, caring, and thankful heart, mind, and spirit. I enjoy people and making connections.
