May be yours correct about her. You add her work experience ...she's around that age (40ish). If she's really involved with that drugs then she should have been behind bars...by now (my guess)?. If she's not involved drug possession then.. she's good to go. .. with right qualifications that fits our needs..why not?
Even if she did some crazy stuff and if she's CLEAN now...I'd still give her a chance....that's me though.
