Summary

I am an experienced, self-motivated, Jill of-many-trades, with over 50 years of experience. The ability to adapt to changes has given me the opportunity to develop a wide range of talents from assisting executives and multi-tasking in the professional office setting to determining eligibility for welfare benefits; and from bookkeeping and payrolls to appeals and developing court cases.

I enjoy serving the people of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the interaction with the community.

Over the years I have taken courses at Wor-Wic Community College to develop a better understanding of the people we serve. Some courses included: Alcohol and Addictions, Sociology, Oral Communication, and several computer classes.

I found retirement was not for me. I am too work-oriented and enjoy the teamwork that employment offers. I look forward to many more years of meeting new people and having new experiences.
