I am a part-time student taking both Beginning Web Design: WordPress, and Principles of Marketing. I work full-time as the Recruitment Specialist for a local non-profit company and I love my job. I am taking classes so that I can level up my skills, perform my job better, and eventually graduate with a business degree with a focus on Human Recourses and Recruitment.

What Can You Do?

There are many things you can do to be safe when you visit the Caribbean:

  1. Stay Inside
  2. Lock Your Doors

If none of these work – bring some cheese! These H.T.M.L. seem to love fresh cheese from the Pacific Northwest – specifically from Tillamook Cheese Factory.
