Additional Information
I have been homeschooling our five children for the past 20 years; one is now a local police officer, three are in college and one began high school last year. I was a pastor’s wife with my husband for a church we started for 18 years and also worked part-time for various jobs. I am used to multitasking, thoroughly enjoy helping people, and thrive in administrative roles. My resume does not reflect the countless hours of volunteer hours in organizing events, encouraging people, and counseling.
