Recently opened successful, self supporting group for people with disability. In development, recognized a need that was overlooked in the Morriston, Florida area. Utilized research through multimedia and communication with locals. Sales skills and educating helped to obtain a meeting place. Marketing involved attending other groups in various cities and towns to promote. Earning the facilities trust, they agreed to pass fliers throughout the community.

My work environment, the past 20 years, was mainly unsupervised. Creating my own work schedule with Amazon has been helpful. Due to the flexibility, I was able to stay at home with my son and work around his schedule. The Team Lead and I try to meet up once a month. As a former group fitness instructor, I had the same flexibility. I would bring my son to the facilities day care while working. The group fitness coordinator and I had a meet up every six months. My son has started college this fall. There are three years I did not work. I had some family issues and my husband carried us financially. As an Area Manager, I sold, produced and distributed the Source Real Estate Magazine on my own. I worked out of my apartment. I have always been number one in any sales I have ever performed from young age.
