I am a bilingual professional who has received awards (even from the Governor of Colorado) and commendations for my work in global sales and business development. I am looking for a challenging part time position that will allow me to utilize these proven skills, but more importantly, I would like to utilize them in a position that would allow me to give back since I have been so blessed in the past.
As a practicing Catholic who has done hermeneutical study for the past 15 years on my spare time, I would appreciate the opportunity to share what I have learned or at least assist others more learned than myself to spreading the truth of our faith. Years ago I self published a mystery novel in the hopes of getting Catholics interested in their faith.
Perhaps there is a job out there that can allow me to share my talents for the good of His work.
