I have a degree in Sign Language Interpretation, I am better with Signed Exact English (SEE) then I am with the word order of American Sign Language (ASL); however, I am improving, daily, my ability to function in ASL. I am not certified but do plan to pursue certification.

Awards Received

At CVS my store was continually awarded good service awards, as well as winning the district wide “Best Store of the Year” award two years in a row.

Interests and Activities

I enjoy crafting in many forms: sewing, knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking, jewelry making and cake decorating. I enjoy reading. I take pleasure in the company of others. I appreciate and respect the Deaf community and various activities that occur in the Deaf community. I enjoy interpreting into Sign Language.

Volunteer Experience

I have been working at Christ Church, Jerusalem, while living in Israel with my husband. (Foreigners cannot work in Israel without special Visas, which are hard to obtain. While my husband has been in school I have assisted with the archiving and organization of the library at Christ Church. I also lead tour groups through the property while explaining the history and impact of the organization responsible for the building and operation of the church.)

Computer Skills

I am efficient in the Microsoft programs and have been trained on the software that was used both at CVS and Walgreens. When my supervisor, Ryan Rodzik, went to Rite Aid he trained me on their system while trying to recruit me to follow him. CVS and Walgreens used “Telson” units for part of their inventory control.

Licenses and Certificates

I am Nationally Certified (CPhT) and have had my certification for over 5 years.

In 2008-2010 I was state certified as a Pharmacy Technician in Oklahoma.
