Since I got married, I would like to be able to follow my husband on his business trips, and I would love to be able to still work from wherever I am. At my last job, in Brazil, I had the experience of working from home, the headquarters was in Detroit. I also have great skills as bookkeeper and management. So awesome that Pangian give this opportunity. Yay!
