“Pye-Barker allows me to come home at the end of the day and be Mom. I want to be a part of my kids' life.
They have their little graduations and they have their school events. I can actually afford to take the time off to go see them. I don't have to miss any more of that stuff.
I’m grateful for the opportunities that Pye-Barker has presented which allow me to be a mom and be home with my family.”

"I’ve traveled across many states and out of the country. I’ve been able to raise a family, but I always enjoyed my work life because it was different every day, no two days were the same, and I took pride in the fact that I did meaningful work."
