Summary

I have been a library assistant at the Baysville Library, and I look forward to reentering this profession.

I have participated in many volunteer projects, mainly involving fundraising and catering (feeding people), but including the Huntsville literacy program.

I am an accomplished professional with over 20 years of real estate experience, demonstrating service excellence I am proficient in computer applications and adaptable to change. I have successfully led branch operations, making me reliable and accountable, with transferable public service skills through approachable communication and cross-functional teamwork.

In my work at The PInes, I learned a lot on current institutional systems, organizations and prodigals, and realized how much I missed physically working as part of a team a team. Part of the reason I applied for the job was with COVID my volunteer work was not possible but I got so much more than just filling a position of need . I have always loved working with children and teens but assisting seniors has its own special reward.
