Summary

While in high school I worked as a server at Middleton Place. My mother was the restaurant manager. I was employed their three years. I worked weddings, parties and corporate meeting. I have continued my love for MIddleton all these years. I go often when my grandchildren. My mother and I celebrate our birthdays there every year. I have a true love for Middleton Place. I grew up about 5 miles down the road on Hwy 61. Springfield elementary school took us there every year on our field trips. It is a very special place full of history and beautiful gardens.

I have been #1 in sales with Cracker Barrel and with Tuesday Morning. I have been # 1 in sales and in all metric for the entire company. Cracker Barrel paid to have my personality assessed this year. My #1 trait, Strategist- I can see the big picture. I can bring stability, confidence and with abundance of productivity.

If you are looking for creative, optimistic and high energy person I would love to talk to you.
