Summary

I’m a single mother with 3 amazing children. I took 4 years off to be a stay at home mom, between the years 2015-2019, which was an amazingly rewarding experience.

My school at NSCC ended in 2012, I didn’t get the chance to graduate (missing one elective and a co-op) due to pregnancy and life complications, but I’m not closed off from the idea of schooling again.

The idea of new opportunities excites me, I love a good challenge and learning new skills.
