Summary

I initially worked in the food and beverage industry as a bartender/ waitress for Harrah's in Kansas City, MO through college. I was recruited while attending college and started for a short time with Dow Corning doing lab studies as I received my bachelors degree. Looking for more action, I started in bottled water sales and got licensed in life and health to attempt life sales with Met Life early on, but soon after took advantage of an offer to trade the futures market at the Chicago Board of Trade for a few years. I moved my trading to my home and started into the real estate market. LIving in MS, I experienced hurricane Katrina and purchased 23 rental properties and rehabbed them. I also opened a couple frozen custard stores soon after. Later I was forced to relocate due to a divorce, which led me into insurance sales in 2011. I have been working with my fiance, at the Powell Agency for Allstate every since. Recently, I have become interested in alternative medicine as well as hemp and the cannabis market. I am hoping to use my experience to promote sales growth to the right organization while expanding my knowledge in this area to improve my skillset to allow me to expand customer knowledge in this up and coming field.
