Summary
In a brief summary of my personal background, I would like to highlight the fact that I was in charge of a multi-location third generation family-owned business for over thirty years. After retiring the business, I chose to enroll in school to pursue advanced degrees and a second career, all this at what I consider a "seasoned" age.
I feel that accomplishment is noteworthy and speaks to the type of person I am and am constantly evolving and striving to be the best that I can be.
I have also further explained in a section I have titled "Addendum to this Resume"what I feel is necessary information when evaluating this resume.
I have chosen to return to the workforce if possible because I feel very strongly that I am an intelligent, enthusiastic, motivated and skilled woman who still has contributions to make and I welcome the challenge.
Thank you.

ADDENDUM TO THIS RESUME
To Whom It May Concern:
Explanation for the lapse in employment time/frame
For the past fifteen or more years, I was the sole caregiver for my husband who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease and passed away in 2014 after a long hard fought battle with this disease.
I chose to keep him at home, enroll him in daycare when he needed it and to allow him to live his life to the fullest and with dignity.
In June of 2014, I had to make the decision to commit him to McLean Hospital for stabilization and unfortunately he passed away a month later.
During these years, I managed to keep abreast of mental health issues and was in constant contact with his team of doctors at MGH.
They will provide any information you need as to the type of caregiver I was and it was a decision I still feel strongly about.
His illness also was the reason that I withdrew from the doctoral program at The Fielding Institute as the caregiving became a full-time job.
Thank you for any consideration to this resume.
Barbara T Claire.
