Summary

Hello...My name is Kimberly Carpenter. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to apply for the Inside Sales Position (Part-Time) for Inter-State Studios. I have known of the company for many years due to my best friend of 40+ years, Theresa Boychi, having been employed by Inter-State for many years. If given the chance, I believe I will be a wonderful fit for Inter-State. I have the customer service, self management and entrepreneur skills needed to accomplish the duties that this job requires. Thank you for your time in reviewing my resume.

Affiliations

  • A bit about myself....I am on a new journey in life as I am newly widowed. My husband of 18 years, passed on July 4th, 2024. While this has been an extremely hard year, I have learned that no matter the "hard", I can make it. I am an avid animal lover. I have 3 horses, 2 dogs ( 15 yr. old Shitzu, 10 yr. old Lab "Tanner") and 2 cats. While this new journey of mine would not have been my choice if given one, It is time to face the future. And I would like to have Inter-State Studios be part of that.
