Summary

I earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts degree. These degrees helped me develop written and verbal communication skills. The degrees also enabled me to develop excellent organizational skills which allow me to complete all assignments in a timely manner. I can work well in group setting and individually. I worked with Health and Human Services for over 20 years before retiring in July of 2024; I am interested in a part time job as I feel I stil have much to offer.
