Summary
After dedicating time to raising my four children, I have continued creating value in my community through consistent and impactful volunteer work. While away from the workforce, I have honed my skills of event planning, leadership, organization and team collaboration. Through roles such Secretary in the Relief Society and student appreciation chair, I have demonstrated my ability to manage projects support others and make a positive difference. I am now eager to return to the workforce and leverage my strong organizational, communication and problem solving skills to contribute to a professional environment.
