Summary
After living in the Virgin Islands for 27 years, I moved back to the States to be closer to family. I enjoyed having a variety of work experiences in St Croix that have made me into a well-rounded employee who likes to have fun at work.
Now that I have decided to make Savannah my permanent home, I am ready to strive for a career that will be challenging and will use the many skills I have gained over the years.
