Additional Information

Dear business owner and prospective employer ,

I would like to introduce myself as one who

spent my childhood in the prosperous , small community of Smithers , British Columbia .

I grew up surrouned by nature's gifts of huckle - berried , glaciered mountains , skirting the treelines of the bulkley valley .

Wldlife peeking in our backyard .

Neighbors were like family and our support system .

Our Alpine themed mainstreet lined with "mom and pop" shops ; the sidewalks roll up like curfews by early evening as if to give grace to hardworking dairy farmers and the back - road drive home .

This timeles theme has grounded me and instilled respect for others ,

I believe I am resilient , strong - willed and own an artistic , creative soul because of this.

Through my work experiences I have attained skills which I believe are an asset to getting back in to the workforce.

I look forward to the oppuruntity of joining your team !

Sincerely,

Cynthia Dalwood
