**************@*****.***
I am a self-motivated homemaker excited to get back out into the world of employed persons! I have over 15 years customer service experience, 12 of them being with the food industry. I have 5 years with Leadership responsibilities. I am aiming for a Management position. Most gaps in my employment history can be attributed to child-rearing. My children are older now, and I am looking forward to utilizing my skills somewhere I can make a difference as well as grow and learn new things that will advance me vocationally.
