As a dedicated mother of five, (three of my own and two step-children), my experience is extensive in all areas requiring manual labor,organization, independent thinking, team work, cooperation, negotiation, problem-solving and conflict resolution. As a professional Laboratory technologist, all the above also apply! A varied background in design and decorating as well as gardening has allowed all these skills to become honed to a degree which allows me a very high level of efficiency and competence in all tasks I undertake.
