A little bit about me

Hello my name is Kenisha Hughes and I am a Truck Driver who has recently come off the road, I am a mother of 5 grown children 4 beautiful girls aging from 27 yrs old down to 19 and I have a handsome son who is 26 yrs old. I am also a grandmother of 2 beautiful girls ages 7 yrs and 6 mths and 3 handsome boys ages 6 yrs 3 yrs and 6 mths. I have experience in the medical field where I was a Certified Nursing Assistant for over 20 years. I've worked in hospital settings nursing homes rehabilitation hospitals and I've also done home health as well. I took a break from the medical field due to me experiencing behavior in a work setting that I did not enjoy hence why I made the decision to give truck driving a try. Let's just say that the trucking world is not very kind to women driver's. I have found myself lately looking for positions that require me to extend not only my hand but my knowledge skill and passion to help people as I have been doing this for a long time now and I really enjoy
