Throughout the years, I have multiple gaps in my relevant experience. These gaps primarily stem from previous demands to be present for my then three small children and my spouse during his career journey. However, my oldest daughter has since left home and started a career in the military. My other two children are currently in junior high and elementary school. I am also currently experiencing a divorce. My circumstances have now put me in a position where I need to return to a more stable work environment to secure a financial future for myself and my children.
