Summary
Knowledgeable human who could use some retraining and updating for a new direction and career post retirement. Being in Public safety/service for the past 25-30 years I am very malleable and am able to learn and take direction well. I am willing to learn anything interesting that is productive. My past experience has me changing hats at the drop of a dime, so this has taught me to be able to figure things out on my own- and also to be able to ask for clarification when needed.
