My Personal Agenda:
I have recently pulled my retirement in order to move my family to Austin, TX. I wish to work
and live in Austin to further my husband’s education and to provide a more suitable environment
for my children. I am looking for a great company in which I can utilize my knowledge and
skills. My goal is to thrive in this wonderful company and serve long term. I have a great sense
of loyalty and plan to apply it within the company. I plan to raise my family in Austin and one
day purchase a home in the Austin area. The first step to achieving my goal starts with a strong
company. Thank you for the opportunity in becoming part of your staff.
