I have skills in Microsoft office, teams development because I handle most of our meetings and I usually take over the class if the teacher is not available so I would say a lot of leadership skills, CPR certified and I am currently taking a scrum two week crash course. I am also looking into ui/ux research because it doesn’t require much coding but if I have to up my coding skills I surely will to get a good stable post. I did a train on internal audit I did apply to entry level positions but I didn’t get anything. I am looking into getting my MBA maybe that would help. Pretty much everywhere and trying everything.
I got my degree in health studies philosophy. Life hardship I had to change my major from Biology to health studies and philosophy. I am currently located in Jessup Maryland.
I was working at Rowan university in the diversity and inclusions office as an assistant then I applied to become a substitute teacher which I was doing for a while until we moved to Maryland and now I am a teacher assistant.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
