After graduating with my Bachelor's Degree, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to join a startup company (Empowering People, Inc.) and participate in the launch and growth of that company.  As general manager, I was responsible for all the internal operations as well as the marketing.

I implemented an efficient and cost-effective system for order processing and customer service.  I incorporated a new software system and trained the staff.  I worked with vendors on product development, printing, and media production.  I planned and budgeted marketing campaigns.  These efforts produced 500% growth in my first 3 years with the company.

As the company grew rapidly, I was able to navigate several location changes to accommodate our growing needs.  We were able to do all this without going into debt and providing a profit for the owner.

Due to the passing of one of the main authors, as well as the fact that the owner is not planning to invest for future growth, I find myself in a time of transition.  Although I have always been very happy with Empowering People, Inc., I am excited about the possibilities for my future.

I am hoping to find a position that will allow me to use my creative abilities.  I have always enjoyed the process of creating catalogs, flyers, newsletters, websites and everything that goes along with marketing communications.  I also enjoy the process of creating and managing products.

Having managed a small business for so many years, I am used to handling multiple responsibilities and working to meet deadlines.  I also understand the importance of budgeting and working to achieve maximum return on investment.

If you have an opening that requires a responsible person with a strong business background, I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you.
