Stay at home mom
I was a stay at home mom for about 4 years after my 12+ years with The Cleaning Authority. Those year’s were very enjoyable getting to know and spend time with my children, but when they started school, I got back into the work force and started at Colonial Downs. I have moved up the ladder with hard work and dedication to my job.
