A client of Michigan Rehabilitation Services through the State of Michigan. I am currently taking job training classes, which were closed since March 2020 due to COVID. I am looking to change careers and am looking for an opportunity within an office or a bank setting that does not require lifting.
I am taking on Pro Bono Case School Projects. Each one takes me to a different region of the world in different historical timelines. These give me the opportunity to apply what I have learned in my classes and to put my Professional Development Lessons to work.
I am currently attending classes towards obtaining a Certificate in Professional Genealogy; Specialty Certificate in Professional Genealogy: New England Colonies; Specialty Certificate in Professional Genealogy:UK; Specialty Certificate in Professional Genealogy: Eastern Europe Genealogy; Specialty Certificate in Professional Genealogy: Western Europe Genealogy.
