Objective To explore challenging job opportunities in a
professional setting.
Personal Born 05/31/1979, Hancock, Michigan
My husband, Clay, was recently hired as Defensive
Coordinator at Cumby ISD and also teaches computer
and athletics classes. We have two children -
Holden (age 9) and Connor (age 4).
I recently edited a manuscript for a novel and
would like to explore the possibility of additional
copy editing on a freelance basis. I am also
considering going to school part time to earn my
master's degree once Connor starts school. I feel
my diverse employment history and ability to
quickly adapt to different work environments along
with my communication skills make me an asset to
any prospective field.
