Summary

Motivated, compassionate and dedicated professional seeking a career opportunity to serve with in the Bourbon County School District. After spending the past year on my children's school schedule, I discovered how valuable those moments are and how important it is for me to continue being present and involved in their daily lives while also contributing financially to my family. That experience led me to seek a career path that allows me to support not only my own children and family, but the children and families in my community as well.

While my professional background is primarily in the medical field " veterinary medicine", I bring patience, adaptability, strong communication skills, valued work ethic, and a genuine passion for helping and caring for others. I am excited to begin this new journey, give support too students and teachers, and being able to make a positive difference and impact wherever I am needed. My hope is to build a meaningful career, build lasting relationships professional and personal, that allows me to continue being there for my family in all the ways I need too be.
