SUMMARY: Legal Assistant with experience in Word, Excel and Power Point. Additional experience with I Manage, Outlook, Webview, DTE and World Dox. Notary Public. 3 years retail experience. 5 years caregiver experience.
VOLUNTEER SERVICE:
From 2017 to 2022, I was a volunteer caregiver for my neighbor, Kathleen Brackett, who died in April 2023 after 8 months in a nursing home after contracting COVID there. Kathleen was a diabetic. She also had suffered a stroke and could not swallow anything but liquid food. I made coffee and breakfast (watered oatmeal) for her in the morning, helped her out of bed, drove her to doctor appointments, took out her trash and cut her grass. I also gave her several thousand dollars to repair her roof, pay bills and cut branches from her tree that was threatening her roof. My son and I repaired part of her fence.
