A friendly, hard working, resourceful individual looking for a new opportunity were I can use the transferable skills I have acquired during my 35 + years of working in various industries, from design to teaching, with a number of short term retail positions in between.

I started my home baking business a few years before I was planning to take early retirement. It has been alot of hard work and a real learning curve, but thanks to my many loyal customers it was worth it. Although I don't do as much baking now, I do still like to keep abreast of current baking and culinary trends, which I enjoy not only on a professional capacity but at home for my family also.

I enjoy interacting with people and can communicate effectively and with empathy. I work well as part of a team, but I can happily work efficiently independently, using my initiative as necessary. I

I am committed and willing to learn new skills as a means to become a better worker and a better person. Currently, I am learning to keep bees and establish a hive at our allotment, which we took over less than a year ago and has since become my happy place where I like to spend time with our rescue dog.
