A little bit about me

Hi there, my name is Chasity & I have a bachelors degree in English Ed. I love to write & I taught writing in New Orleans for 2 years. I was raised to make eye contact, say hello, hold doors open, & put things back where found. I was blessed to grow up with family that talked (even if it felt like torture as a teen.) We knew people came 1st & plans 2nd. We were told to “mean what we say & say what we mean!” My dad still thinks ur word & a handshake is a guarantee & I’m proud of that. I do my best 2 find good & be good along the way! I have raised 2 beautiful & independent girls. My oldest is gainfully employed in Oregon & my youngest just began college with TOPS.
I am able to do most task I set out with enough common sense to adapt as needed! Its sad seeing the newest generation SPEND SO much time on social media that they lack real world “social skills.”
Please feel free to contact me anytime. I look forward to any conversation about job opportunities or u just need a chat!
