Summary

I’ve been a stay at home mom for about 9 years now. And the last 4 years I’ve been homeschooling our two oldest. So I’ll be the first to admit my work history looks and is a bit spotty. However, Its not for lack of drive. I just felt I needed to put forth most of my time to our kids while they were little. Anyone I have ever worked with can attest to my work ethic and the morale I brought to any team I was thrown into. Furthermore, I’m a quick learner and great with time management. Which is why I live by “if there’s a will there’s a way”.
