Jun. 2020 - Aug. 2020West Yarmouth, Massachusetts, United StatesUpon finding myself in a corporate lay off amidst the global pandemic - I saw an opportunity to leverage the blue sky in my life to pursue a number of things that were of interest to me, but that I never found the time to complete. In between my job search activities, I worked down an extensive list of books on my personal and professional book lists, took time to recharge and reflect by exploring the beautiful beaches and coastal woodlands of Cape Cod and logged 275+ hours of continuing education in bucket list topics and potential future career "forks in the road." Through that time invested in personal development I completed: * 2 certificates related to emergency management and disaster response from the FEMA Emergency Management Institute * International TEFL/TESOL Teaching Certification, with endorsements in both Teaching English Online and Teaching Professional Business English * State of Massachusetts Real Estate Agent Licensing Course
