In my own words

Jessica

<p>Currently seeking employment at a company small or large with positive growth potential with an upbeat positive vibe.

I&#39;m an avid tennis player and love the outdoors, whether it be the ocean or backpacking in the back country. I enjoy it all. I have almost a decade of of high growth startup experience and have been a leader of people. <br /><br />I was laid off from my last position and am actively working as a full time Real Estate Agent and mom. Ready to reenter the active work force!</p>
