Summary
I spent 20 years in the beauty industry as a manicurist, makeup artist, and hairstylist and I also worked at an elementary school that our family was involved with as a kindergarten aid, I also did noon duty supervisor off and on until the birth of my daughter. I became a stay-at-home mom but had to return to work for insurance and changed my career to accommodate my family, after 20 years I am ready to start a new journey and thought that going back to work in the schools would be just the journey I want to do.
