I have held various jobs throughout the years, majority of them dealing directly with people. From teaching, to being a chiropractic assistant, to bartending

One of the things I have most enjoyed about all of these jobs, is the different personalities and experiences that each job has offered me. I enjoy working with people, which has been exemplified by the jobs I have previously and presently hold.
