Summary

Creative and self-motivated individual with 25+ years of engaging with the public in a plethora of roles and settings. My unique retail store put me in front of a wide range of individuals from many backgrounds. As a purchaser I was frequently engaging in business with people from multiple different companies of all sizes with different products and expectations. I was able to cultivate these relationships over many years, often giving me a competitive advantage over other businesses within my industry. As an owner of businesses I cultivated exceptional time management skills to meet deadlines in multiple areas. Extensive experience with multiple enterprises in budgeting, managing cash flow and cost savings


My background in psychology and experience as a therapist provided me with essential and valuable skills around helping people identify their problems and obstacles and come up with solutions. This position also taught me how to be calm and centered in high stress situations
