Summary
I am recently divorced and now a single mother who is relocating to find a better place and better pay for myself and my children. I am understanding and reliable and can use critical thinking skills and common sense while showing empathy and compassion towards others. I am a long term person who stays within the company, but I am looking to further my education and become a nurse for a better quality of life.
