I've started a new search for the next great career adventure! After three excellent opportunities during, through and after The Pandemic I am ready to be of service in a capacity that makes the most positive impact in my community of the Greater Rochester, NY Region. I most recently served on the Executive Team at Zen Life Holdings aiding small businesses nationally with the CARES Act's ERTC relief program. Before that I welcomed the chance to assist our veterans on the Development & Events Team at the Veterans Outreach Center, and while the world was most in crisis, during Covid-19, I helped Watkins Glen/Schuyler County/Finger Lakes Wine Country businesses and organizations not only survive but thrive as Executive Director of the 480-member Chamber of Commerce.I proudly completed my bachelor's degree from RIT in 2019 (Dean’s List both semesters) after a 35-year hiatus from course work. I have and will continue to lend (as well as fine-tune) my skills in strategizing, leadership, business development, fund- and friend-raising, sales, marketing, PR, event execution as well as in networking, connecting and developing meaningful relationships that foster partnerships and collaborations with others that have positive impact on ourselves and our teams, community. I have benefited greatly as an employee of for-profits and non-for-profits, running my own successful consulting company and serving as a volunteer and/or board member with many organizations, locally, domestically and internationally. Being engaged, involved and open to new people, places and opportunities has served me and those I am blessed to toil with well. There is great joy in doing a job well, whether for pay and/or as a reward for giving back. I look forward to continuing to be of service in both capacities!
