I have had an eclectic road in my professional life while earning degrees in English as well as Teaching and Learning with Technology, but all this has proven is a willingness and drive to do what it takes to be where I want to be in life. Before moving to Florida I spent six years as a shipping and receiving clerk while earning a certificate of achievement in Welding and Metal Fabrication at Joliet Junior College in Illinois. I worked as a contract welder for several companies in the Tampa Bay area before entering the Pest Control industry. I gathered many useful skills in customer service and sales during my adventures in the service industry while I returned to school in pursuit of a career I was truly passionate about in Writing, English, or Education. My eyes are now set forward towards my future and all the possibilities it holds in regard to the passion I pursued.
