Accomplishments

Successful small business owner looking to pivot career wise. I've had a wonderful run owning and managing our painting company for the last 15 years, but I'm at that age where I no longer want to be on a ladder for 8 to 10 hours a day. Full transparency - I love being active and outside and hope to continue to do so, in a different work environment. Healthy, but prioritizing my physical future. We've created an amazing client base up here in the mountains, and are very proud of that. Our client base is a great reflection of all the hard work, care, and determination required building a legitimate, trustworthy business in our community. Looking forward to being a strong team member and/or leader exploring something different, while displaying all of the skills I've developed over the years. Face to face communication is my strong point, amongst everything else required to keep a small business not just afloat but excelling. Can't wait to utilize (unleash) all of that, and more moving forward.
