Additional Information
I have a great work ethic. I work well individually and in a team setting. I have been put in leadership roles several times. I work well under time restraints. I don't get involved in drama. I have been told I have OCD, which I jokingly say means I am very organized. I am looking for a new adventure moving forward and I am very open to trying different jobs.
I retired from law enforcement in 2018 to be a stay at home mother. My daughter and I also moved to Idaho from California. Once we got settled in, I decided to go back to work part time to keep active and meet new people. This is the reason I have a gap between jobs.
