Summary
As I stay at home mom for the past eight years with other stance of being a stay at home, mom over the years, having four children in total, I have decided that I would like to start doing something for myself.

I am highly motivated with a desire to take on new challenges. I have a strong work ethic and work well on my own as well as with others.
