Summary

I have knowledge of account management and a strong attention to detail. I am an enthusiastic individual with superior skills in working in both team-based and independent capacities, bringing strong work ethic and excellent organizational skills to any setting. I worked from when I graduated college straight through until I was pregnant with my first child. Since then, I have been working part-time from home assisting my husband in managing our business. I have three children within the Smithtown School District and I am familiar with the neighborhood. I am extremely excited to begin a new challenge with successful team.
