About The Position

The Community – Perry Point, MD This quaint little hub of a town is filled with natural beauty and a quiet, scenic background. A short distance away (34 miles, to be exact), you'll find Baltimore which is the second largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic and the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States as well as a major manufacturing center. After a decline in major manufacturing, industrialization, and rail transportation, Baltimore shifted to a service-oriented economy, with the Johns Hopkins Hospital (founded 1889), and Johns Hopkins University (founded 1876), now the city's top two employers. With hundreds of identified districts, Baltimore has been dubbed "a city of neighborhoods ". Famous residents have included the writers Edgar Allan Poe, Frederick Douglass and H.L. Mencken, jazz musician James "Eubie " Blake, singer Billie Holiday and baseball player Babe Ruth. In the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key wrote The Star-Spangled Banner, later the American national anthem, in the city. Almost a quarter of the jobs in the Baltimore region are in science, technology, engineering and math, in part attributed to its extensive undergraduate and graduate schools.
