Accomplishments

I have been a top seller of Club Med All Inclusive Resorts for 3 years in a row and was awarded as a top regional sales person. Subsequently, I was invited to three, five day trips to various resorts where other top sellers in their districts also enjoyed time together building relationships with each other and Club Med executives. We learned about new, upcoming resorts and features at the resorts.


I took courses online by various cruise lines giving me insight into details about accommodations, products, upselling, destinations and upcoming travel products. I participated in weekly meetings as to future promotions and destinations being promoted.

Artist

I have had a few businesses as an artist. Photographer: portraits and developing my own film and printing them in a dark room in my home. I also had a business painting furniture and custom pieces. I have repeat clients that sometimes still request custom furniture. I have worked as a face painter at festivals and private parties. I do these small jobs on the side on my off hours.
