I recently took a planned career break to provide end-of-life care for my grandmother and am now ready to return to full-time work. I have a valid drivers license, full access to a reliable vehicle, and am willing to travel or relocate for the right opportunity.
Outside of work, I enjoy skiing, traveling, and the arts, but nothing beats a home-cooked meal from Auwa (“grandma”) or time spent with my dog and cat.
