I have been working with people for most of my adult life. I have owned and operated my own preschool for 15 years. I have lived in Vermont for the past 11 years and I have worked in retail for most of those years. I have recently took a private care job with an elderly lady who is very capable of taking care of herself, I assist her with emails, grocery shopping, as well as driving her to and from appointments, etc. She is a delightful woman and I enjoy working with her so much. I have taken an interest in this field and would like to pursue further opportunities in working in this field. I am a very active person and I enjoy the outdoors very much, on my free time I am often outdoors either walking, hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, and taking many different fitness classes at the local spa in town. I went back to college as an adult 5 years ago and received my bachelors degree which I am very proud of that accomplishment, as it was not an easy task working and going to school, however I really enjoyed it, and met many people and found my classes very interesting. I hope to continue taking courses over the next few years as I continue to pursue other side interests such as cooking, and photography.
