Summary

I believe I am a compassionate and empathetic individual who has dedicated nearly a decade to being a full time parent to my two sons and am now looking to get back into the work force as my youngest son is entering school full time. I am inspired to pursue a meaningful career following a personal loss of my own, with a deep understanding of grief and a desire to provide a warm , empathetic , and respectful environment to grieving families. I believe that with my skill set in communication , organization, empathy , and the personal work I have done with my Christian therapist regarding my own journey with grief , that I would be a great asset in the funeral home environment and be able to thrive in this position with care , professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail.
