EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I studied originally to become a nurse, but while working in the nursing field after graduation, I was offered a job in sales. It was a totally different field of work, but ended up being the best job opportunity that transformed my life completely. I dedicated all my time for over 10 years working in advertising and sales. I later retired to have children and stay at home full time raising them. My entire life changed when a few short years later my husband passed away. After his sudden death, I found myself raising our two young girls by myself. Now that they are grown, I am looking for employment with a company that I can help make a further success. I’m a team player, a people person, and do not shy away from a challenge. I’m ready to make a difference and show my passion through my work ethic!
