COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

My husband and I hosted high school foreign exchange students since July 2000. These students came from western and eastern Europe, South America and Japan. This experience has enabled us to view the world with a different perspective other than just what is seen on the nightly news. Traveling to some of their home counties has allowed us to experience their customs and cultures and see that in many ways we are not so different after all.

OBJECTIVE

With my varied experience and talent, I am looking forward to the next phase of my successful career.
