Starting off working in the media field, I met all kinds of people, in all kinds of situations. Then I spent 15 years as the photographer for the University of Louisiana Monroe watching the students grow into young adults. Then I became my sisters helper after an accident left her without the use of both arms while under going numerous operations. Once things settled down, I joined Walmart's associate staff as an assistant in the photo lab and electronics, moving up to the person in charge of the lab. I was there for nearly 10 years.
During that time, I had the privilege of serving the public, gaining their trust and advising them of my employers merchandise and products.
I enjoy meeting new people and greeting old friends and take nothing personable when they bring their days roller coaster of life with them as they shop.
