As a Key Account Strategist at Skyline Exhibits, I had the unique opportunity to provide businesses with customized trade show and event design solutions.

Public relations and recruiting for a family of proprietary art schools. As an associate director, I conducted career presentations and trained high school representatives in a variety of territories.

From November 1996 to May 1998, I was a retail manager at Hills and loved the people and the position. Due to the hard work of our team, I was promoted to merchandising coordinator and moved to Pittsburgh, PA to help the 150 stores in the Hills chain merchandise their softlines areas. I helped bridge the gap between the buyers and those on the "front lines" aka sales floor. It was rewarding and the job ended when Ames purchased Hills.

T.J. Maxx was a "job" through high school and college, then the job became a career when I became an assistant manager in November 1993, after leaving my high school teaching position. I was initially a merchadising manager, and later operations manager. T. J. Maxx is an amazing company with great training programs and I am forever indebted to the basic foundation provided by such a visionary company.
