Summary
I am a certified yoga instructor looking for seasonal, part time or remote work to supplement my income and enrich my life. Before raising my son, I worked in communications at The Breeders Cup, the Kentucky Lieutenant Governor’s office, Kentucky.com and more. I also gained a wealth of knowledge and experience as our family manager, organizing our finances, home improvements, vacations, holidays and the everyday needs of a busy family. I am intelligent, hardworking, organized and ready to share my skills with an amazing team.
