Description

I just love to help and be with people, My preference is outdoors while I am working!! So I am always looking for projects that are primarily outside.
At a very young age I left the corporate world to become a waitress to my parents dismay. It was my favorite job and I made it a career to serve. It brought much satisfaction because everything I do, I would do even if I didn't receive a paycheck. I feel like I became a better worker. My work reflects my personal values.
