Achievements

As a stay-at-home Mom of two for 8 years, I have (and continue to) provide my children a safe and nurturing environment while handling the scheduling, finances and logistics for a family of four. As a result, I have mastered my talent for multi-tasking, perfected my time management skills, and honed my already sharp negotiating skills. I have also successfully implemented several rules and regulations which to this day are still respected. I have learned how to captivate an easily distracted audience and developed a tremendous sense of humor through it all. Despite not having been employed for the years I raised my children, I challenge anyone who claims I have not worked!
