My experience begins at an early age. Hustling to be the first on the block to lock in neighbors yards for mowing, cleaning and odd jobs. the hustle didn't stop there. As I got older and I had transportation, I was able to work in neighboring towns, doing different work. I found my way into small engine mechanics, appliance repair, construction assistance. I did anything I could to gain experience, knowledge and to earn a buck. when I had my first official job working in hotels, I wanted to learn everything there was to know about hotels. I started as a desk clerk, moved into house keeping, maintenance, then assistant manager. I kept moving up. In management to a season GM position for Dairy Queen. Then went and received my CNA and worked in nursing homes, and then into the hospital. What I liked about all the positions I've had was being able to train employees to move into positions. I found my way to Jimmy John's. worked my way into a GM role. Was right on the precipice of becoming a national training store for new owners. Our store was top 10 in the nation in sales consistently. I took on a the role of Mentor so I could train my next in line to run the store when it was time for me to move.Eventually when I started a family, it was time to take a step back. I went back to college, started working at FedEx driving, and trained in other drivers to become organized, knowledgeable on the route, and follow the rules to be as safe on the road as possible. Later when I learned of my ADHD, it made sense why teaching, training, and educating came so easy for me. My focus, and drive to help others made me successful in mentoring and training others to be leaders. Now I am a paraprofessional in my hometown school, working toward my degree in special education. My goal is to help the kids I work with everyday to see their own potential, help the kids be successful in their futures, and have them know that it doesn't matter what they struggle with, like me, they can be successful too.
