Not sure what to make of a statement like this: ‘no applicant fulfills the requirements for the position as stated in the job description’. Maybe it’s just me but this seems like a problem… 🤷

We are devastated to let the world know that we lost Dr. Vicki Garcia on June 9th. She had an amazing spirit and a kind heart and is someone who will never be forgotten. Thank you for enriching our lives and making the world better. You are missed and loved. 💕
