As an Independent Nomades Consultant, I sold Nomades sterling silver jewelry through direct sales. I facilitated in-home parties, on-line parties and one-on-one consultations with clients. I also attended larger vendor events, all geared toward selling silver charms and jewelry that tell the stories of our lives.

I coordinated the recruitment, management and retention of volunteers for the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society Branch aboard Camp Pendleton, CA.
