OBJECTIVE
To bring my unique background, determination, and passion for learning and teaching to your already stellar organization. As a natural leader, I am able to take charge and as a dutiful teammate I know I would make a great addition to any team. Taking myself out of the work force due to a family illness has left me so very eager to start a new chapter and I am ready to get to work.
