Though I was immersed in the fashion retail business previously, I wanted to enhance my skills outside of that industry. I jumped at the opportunity to play an important role in a local start-up business. Not only was NuVal a new company, nutrition evaluation and scoring was an uncharted industry. My skills, however, translated beautifully, as I managed.
